Chelsea manager Pochettino: Nkunku very important for us

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has a lot of time for attacker Christopher Nkunku.

The Frenchman has been dealing with one injury after another in his first season at the club.

Now that he is fit ahead of Euro 2024, Pochettino spoke about his goalscoring display in a 2-1 win over Brighton.

He told reporters post-game about Nkunku: "He was suffering a lot with injuries.

He needs to now be consistent, consistent. He was so tired at the end and played only 60 minutes.

I am so happy for him because he was suffering and now he scores goals and be involved with the team.

I am happy for him first and of course for the team because we are adding a player that is very important for us."
