Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka set for another month on the sidelines

Chelsea midfielder is set to stay further on the sidelines as he continues his recovery from injury.

According to Evening Standard, the Super Eagles-eligible midfielder is set to be out of action for another month.

Chukwuemeka picked up a knee injury in Chelsea's 3-1 loss to West Ham on match day 2 of the Premier League played at the London Stadium.

The England youth International was responsible for the Blues' only goal of the game and the strike has been chosen as the club's Goal of the Month for August.

The 21-year-old's injury situation compounds Mauricio Pochettino's worries who is without some of his key players and that has affected their start to the season.

The two-time European champions have picked up just 4 points out of a possible 12 since the start of the season.

Chukwuemeka will need to return to full fitness as competition for places increases at Stamford Bridge.

The Anglo-Nigerian midfielder has made two Premier League appearances for Chelsea in the new season, both of which he started, and has scored one goal.
