Christopher Nkunku has faced challenges during his time at Chelsea, primarily due to a serious knee injury that hindered his performance after his signing from RB Leipzig. Despite high expectations and evident talent, he has only scored six goals in 37 appearances in the Premier League. Head Coach Enzo Maresca supports Nkunku, emphasizing that his struggles are not due to effort but rather limited involvement, as he often plays a supporting role to teammate Nicolas Jackson.
"I don't think it's a lack of effort because at the end I can see Christo every day and he's working well. Sometimes he wants to give more during a game and he struggles a little bit, but for sure I don't think it's a lack of effort."
Nkunku's limited involvement is the consequence of playing a supporting role to Nicolas Jackson, who has instead been given a rest in domestic and European cup competition by Maresca.
