Chelsea confirm Super Eagles-eligible midfielder has undergone surgery after knee injury

Through their official website, Chelsea have provided an update regarding the injury of Super Eagles-eligible midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka.
​
​
​The 19-year-old picked up an injury towards the end of the first half in Chelsea's loss to West Ham on Sunday at the London Stadium.
​
​
The London-based side has revealed that the England youth International suffered a knee injury and has undergone surgery.
​

He will work with the club's medical department on his rehabilitation at Cobham.

Chukwuemeka joins Christopher Nkunku, Armando Broja, Reece James, Benoit Badiashile and Wesley Fofana in the treatment table.
​
​
​The injury to the Aston Villa Academy product would be a blow to Mauricio Pochettino who is now without a number 10 in his squad.
​
​
​The Argentine tactician has not had the best start to his life as the Blues' manager having failed to record a victory in his first two Premier League games.
​
​
He will be hoping his side can pick up the maximum points when they host Premier League newcomers, Luton Town on Friday at Stamford Bridge.
