London, May 5 || Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca provided an update on Christopher Nkunku, who missed out again on Sunday's Premier League game against Liverpool after suffering an injury in training earlier this week, revealing that the striker will still be out for 10-15 days with an injury.
Chelsea boosted their hopes of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League with a 3-1 victory over champions Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Sunday evening.
"Christo will be out for I think one week or two weeks, we are not sure. We will see. He will be out for the next ten to 15 days," Maresca said.
Nkunku is likely to be on his way out of Chelsea at the end of the season, so there is a chance he may have played his last game for the Blues already.
After the win over Liverpool, Chelsea remain fifth but now have a three-point cushion over sixth-place Nottingham Forest, who play Crystal Palace on Monday. Chelsea are also level on points with fourth-placed Newcastle United, whom they play at St James' Park next weekend.
The race for the five Champions League places remains incredibly tight after another interesting weekend of results.
