Mauricio Pochettino said Chelsea could have Christopher Nkunku available as early as the week after the November international break as the summer signing’s recovery from a knee injury is progressing quicker than expected peraplay
The 25-year-old, who was injured in a friendly against Borussia Dortmund during the club’s pre-season tour of the United States, had been expected to be out until at least December but that timescale has now been brought forward, raising the possibility he could make a long-awaited competitive debut when the team face Newcastle at St James’s Park on November 25 peraplay
The loss of Nkunku weeks after completing a £52m move from RB Leipzig was a significant blow to Pochettino’s preparations for the new campaign, particularly as he had been a standout performer during the two weeks in the US peraplay
And his absence was keenly felt once the Premier League season began as Chelsea scored just five times in their first six league matches, a run that saw them fail to score a single goal during September peraplay
That record has improved markedly during the last three games during which the team has more than doubled its goal return, but the possible early return for the France international - who was last season’s joint top scorer in the Bundesliga with 16 goals - would represent a boost for Pochettino as he faces a torrid upcoming run of fixtures peraplay
After Saturday lunchtime’s meeting with Brentford at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea face consecutive league matches against Tottenham, Manchester City, Newcastle, Brighton and Manchester United peraplay
“(Nkunku) is doing really well, working hard, I think he’s really close,” said Pochettino peraplay
“As soon as possible we can have him involved again peraplay
“After the next internationals maybe he could be involved peraplay
“He’s a player that when you see the goals he scored last season, (you see) he provides goals, and I think we’re missing goals peraplay
That’s why we think he’s a player that can be important for us peraplay
“He’s proved he can score goals in the Bundesliga peraplay
If today we had eight or 10 goals from Nkunku, maybe the situation (in the league) would be completely different peraplay
“It’s goals that we are missing to be in a different position peraplay
It’s unlucky but we can’t complain, we need to work peraplay
We’re looking forward to recovering him and helping the team be in a different position peraplay
”Pochettino previously said that he could be tempted to look at options in the transfer market if form in front of goal did not improve by January, but acknowledged a run of eight goals in three league games coupled with Nkunku’s progress could lessen the urgency peraplay
“peraplay Football is really dynamic,” he said peraplay
“Today maybe we are thinking in a different way to three weeks ago, but we’re ready and working with the sporting directors to be ready in the transfer window, if we need to add players in an offensive position peraplay
”The Premier League confirmed on Thursday that Chelsea will take part in the competition’s first Christmas Eve fixture since 1995 with their visit to Wolves moved from December 23 to accommodate TV coverage peraplay
The decision has drawn significant backlash from supporters, but it is particularly resonant for the Pochettino household as the previous day marks his and his wife’s 31st anniversary - which the manager will now spend travelling to Wolverhampton peraplay
“Our fans are not happy? Me neither peraplay
The 23rd is my anniversary with my wife and now I need to travel to Wolves peraplay
“I believe I am not going to convince her to come peraplay
“The 24th (of December) for Argentine people is a really important night, and I hope to arrive (home) in time to celebrate after peraplay
But if our fans are not happy, I am not happy also peraplay
“(The decision) is not easy to change, but we need to accept we are in England and it’s different to the rest of the world peraplay
I need to adapt myself peraplay
But even if I’m not happy, I need to do my best to be at my best level and accept it’s a situation we cannot change peraplay

Something is different at Tottenham: check the table, they are top and playing like league leaders as well peraplay
Ange Postecoglou’s side returned there after confidently asserting their superiority over Fulham in this comfortable 2-0 win in north London peraplay
Tottenham extended their best start to a season since 1960 with a helping hand from the visitors, who were hapless, and Calvin Bassey, who was culpable for both goals and fortunate it wasn’t more peraplay
Spurs, in essence, scored the same goal twice, with Bassey giving away possession with a loose pass into midfield and the hosts sharply intercepting on the halfway line peraplay
Son dispatched the first on 36 minutes after dancing past Bassey and curling into the top corner; then Son set up James Maddison to double their lead shortly after half-time peraplay
The finish, again, was ruthless peraplay
Spurs could have been out of sight long before then had Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski been as clinical, but a seventh victory out of nine so far in the Premier League never felt in doubt after Son continued his own excellent start to the campaign peraplay
Spurs enjoyed periods of control and flowed forward dangerously peraplay
There was, significantly, a sense that Tottenham’s players were enjoying this peraplay
Clearly, that is now mirrored in the stands as well: if Postecoglou has arrived and convinced Tottenham they can be something new, his team have chosen to be fun and carefree peraplay
It is not surprising, therefore, that that spirit has been brought by those who did not play here under Antonio Conte or Nuno Espirito Santo or Jose Mourinho, and who embody the fresh start that Postecoglou has been able to make peraplay
The Australian’s four summer signings who started against Fulham, in Maddison, Van de Ven, goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and Destiny Udogie, were all outstanding again peraplay
If Postecoglou’s presence has lifted Spurs, they are the ones who carry his message onto the pitch peraplay
Maddison’s quality is obvious in every touch, as is the idea that he has taken responsibility to drag Tottenham out of the existential crisis they faced here last season peraplay
The centre-back Van de Ven has become an unlikely fan favourite, bringing an energy and enthusiasm into every defensive action peraplay
Tottenham’s opening goal would not have been scored without his interception and it was an illustration of why the Dutch defender has become so appealing to the fans here: he wants this, and he’s doing it for you peraplay
Micky van de Ven won a crucial challenge for the opening Tottenham goal (Reuters)Add in the quality that was already here and this Tottenham side has the makings of something exciting: how good this team really is remains to be seen, but another remarkable aspect of the transformation under Postecoglou is how those who appeared beaten and washed out last season have been revived peraplay
Son is devastating again, Kulusevski threatening with every touch, his dribble returning to such a fine, gliding motion peraplay
Perhaps most extraordinarily of all, Cristian Romero has emerged as the calm head guiding the defence peraplay
Yet in the first half, it was Udogie who shined brightest in spells, the 20-year-old a fearless example of what Tottenham are now all about peraplay
In his hybrid role from full-back, the Italian is already becoming vital to this attacking, dangerous Spurs, often playing further forward then Maddison when Postecoglou’s side have possession peraplay
Destiny Udogie impressed with his hybrid role (Getty Images)Udogie, with his ability to receive the ball with back to goal, absorb pressure, and then shrug it off like a discarded cloak, offered a threat that Fulham struggled to pin down – the visitors breathed a sigh of relief when he was removed as Tottenham went 2-0 up peraplay
Udogie went off to a standing ovation peraplay
Son turned and beckoned for more peraplay
Meanwhile, there is Vicario, who looks as if he won’t concede a goal ever again peraplay
Already with the best save percentage in the Premier League before Monday night, the Italian has stepped in to give Tottenham a secure and reassuring presence peraplay
The goalkeeper appears built to handle the nervy moments that invariably come with playing for Tottenham, a part that Hugo Lloris, for all his years here, never felt quite fit for peraplay
Guglielmo Vicario has settled quickly as Tottenham’s No 1 (Getty Images)Because for all that Tottenham were dominant against Fulham and the only team who ever looked capable of winning, there have previously been times where such a script has gone wildly off course peraplay
On 12 minutes, Vicario was there with an excellent leap and strong left arm to deny Palhinha’s free header, in what was the visitors’ first attack peraplay
It was a moment that came after a spell of overwhelming Tottenham dominance, and therefore a natural point for them to concede peraplay
But Fulham barely threatened again until it was too late peraplay
Silva’s side were a mess at the back, the absence of Issa Diop at the back compounded by Bassey’s woefully inaccurate performance peraplay
Fulham teased Tottenham with their reckless play into midfield: it may have worked in the past, against a passive Spurs, but Van de Ven, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and the excellent Pape Matar Sarr snapped into challenges and from there Fulham leaked chances like a sieve peraplay
And so, Postecoglou’s different Spurs left the Premier League table looking as it did at the start of the weekend: Tottenham are back at the top and looking down peraplay
