On Nkunku's fitness, manager Mauricio Pochettino stated: "They assess him day by day and in the last few days he has the possibility to be involved in some parts of the training session.
"We now need to see the reaction of his body and see how he evolves. We hope he can be involved soon."
Chelsea are currently in ninth place in the Premier League, but are only three points behind sixth place.
