Chelsea striker Christopher Nkunku could be back for the weekend.

Tonight's clash with Tottenham will come too soon for Nkunku, with manager Mauricio Pochettino delivering an update on the Frenchman and Levi Colwill.

He said, "They were training today normally.

"We prepared for the game tomorrow, we were doing some set-pieces, tactical work and meetings.

"They are nearly [there] but they are on the line, but they still have not crossed the line. Maybe for Sunday against West Ham, maybe they will be ready. We hope."
