Progressing well Chukwuemeka (knee) has been recovering well and is not far from returning to team training, according to manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Impact Chukwuemeka underwent knee surgery in August and has been making a quick recovery as he is already training on the grass individually. This means he is not far from returning to team training, where he could make a return to the squad as soon as Oct 2 versus Fulham. Prior to going down on injury, the midfielder started the first two games of the season while also scoring his first career goal for the club.

Impact Chukwuemeka received some positive news Thursday as he is expected to miss just a few weeks following surgery on his knee. This means he could make a return near the end of September or beginning of October. The midfielder was having a fine start to the season, scoring a goal during his first two starts of the season. With Mykhailo Mudryk also dealing with an injury, this means that Moises Caicedo could be ready to make his debut to the starting XI since making his team debut during Sunday's loss to West Ham United.

Undergoes knee surgery Chukwuemeka underwent knee surgery recently and will begin his rehab, according to the team.

Impact It's not clear why the team didn't reveal what kind of surgery it was, but reports suggest it was MCL related, so that figures to keep Chukwuemeka out the next couple months. Following the loss at West Ham, it also gives Mauricio Pochettino a chance to tweak his starting XI and possibly formation. At this point, giving starts to Mykhailo Mudryk should be in the cards.

Impact While Chukwuemeka's status remains up in the air, it seems unlikely he will be fit in time to face Luton Town on Friday. While Mykhailo Mudryk came on for Chukwuemeka during Sunday's matchup with West Ham United, new man Moises Caicedo figures to be the long-term replacement for however long Chukwuemeka might be on the shelf.

Leaves match on crutches Chukwuemeka was seen on crutches following their 3-1 loss to West Ham United, per Rahman Osman of the London World.

Impact Chukwuemeka has not had the best luck keeping healthy as he was forced off at half time with an ankle injury. It does not look good for him after he was seen struggling to walk following the match. If he has to miss time, then Mykhailo Mudryk could return to the starting XI in his place.

Injury plagued season Chukwuemeka had recorded two Premier League starts in 14 appearances, totaling 13 tackles (seven won), eight chances created and six interceptions.

Impact Chukwuemeka's season has been full of injuries, limited his time on the pitch. He played just 344 minutes all season, which is equivalent to just under four full matches. The 19-year-old is still young, therefore will have time to improve his form, but will likely continue his bench role heading into the 2023/24 campaign.

Included in match-day squad Chukwuemeka (undisclosed) was named to the match-day squad against Real Madrid on Tuesday.

Impact Chukwuemeka has cracked the starting XI just once this season, so the fact that he is filling a reserve role after his four-match absence shouldn't come as a surprise. Without a real shot at starting any time soon, the midfielder figures to be a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

Back in training Chukwuemeka (undisclosed) was able to train in some capacity with Chelsea on Monday ahead of the UCL quarterfinal return fixture against Real Madrid this week.

Impact Chukwuemeka has missed his side's last four games in all competitions due to an injury he suffered in training in early April, but he is progressing with his recovery and could be back in the squad to face Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday.

In doubt versus Brighton Chukwuemeka suffered a knock in training and is doubtful against Brighton on Saturday.

Impact Chukwuemeka has already been out of the squad for the club's previous three matches due to his undisclosed injury and could be out of action for a fourth. Considering the midfielder has made just one start in his 11 appearances this season, fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting him to crack the starting XI any time soon.

Takes two shots in loss Chukwuemeka took two shots and created a chance in Thursday's 1-0 defeat against Manchester City. He also made two interceptions and won two of six tackles in the match.

Impact Chukwuemeka replaced an injured Christian Pulisic in the first half of Thursday's game, and he performed well in what was his most significant Premier League appearance since joining Chelsea last summer. The 19-year-old will hope this performance inspires manager Graham Potter to give him more consistent opportunities in midfield moving forward.

Returns to training Chukwuemeka (hamstring) trained with Chelsea's first team, Football.London report.

Impact Chukwuemeka was ruled out with a hamstring injury before the World Cup break, but is progressing in his recovery, and returned to training. The midfielder has seen just 43 total minutes of playing time and is a fringe option for the Chelsea first team.

Ruled out for Arsenal clash Chukwuemeka (hamstring) won't be involved in Sunday's game against Arsenal.

Impact Chukwuemeka has featured exclusively off the bench this season, logging a combined 43 minutes in a trio of appearances. Without a clear path to the starting XI, the midfielder shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value.

Headed for London club Chukwuemeka will undergo a medical with Chelsea after the club agreed to a permanent transfer from Aston Villa on Tuesday.

Impact Chukwuemeka and Chelsea need to finalize personal terms in addition to a medical evaluation but barring any setbacks, the midfielder should link up with the club in the coming days. With Villa last season, Chukwuemeka made 12 appearances, two of them being starts in which he generated one assist, four shots (one on target) and seven tackles. He has a bright future and will likely be loaned elsewhere once his deal with Chelsea completes.
