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

Up into the stands the England players clambered to find their families, taking the consolatory hugs but unsure quite how to feel peraplay
Across 80 minutes in Paris, their belief had been replaced by disbelief and then by desperation and dejection, England threatening the unthinkable and taking the world champions to the brink peraplay
For most of a sodden Stade de France evening, a Rugby World Cup final was within their grasp peraplay
A South Africa side superior in most areas were dragged down into the sort of slugfest the Springboks would usually favour, and very nearly bested at their own game peraplay
England had given their all but it was still not enough, one stable scrum, one Handre Pollard slip or slice, short of stunning the world champions peraplay
The emotional maelstrom of this defeat will swirl rather differently to the feelings that eddied after the 2019 World Cup final disaster peraplay
“I’m proud of our performance,” were virtually the first words out of the mouth of wing Elliot Daly peraplay
“I think we shocked them peraplay
I don’t think they knew how to get into the game peraplay
”“I think we knew what was coming and we knew we could perform like this,” added Daly, virtually unused in open play but outstanding as a kick chaser to exemplify the squad’s buy-in to a strategy that so nearly proved successful peraplay
The finer points of Steve Borthwick’s tactical plan had been put in place this week but this was a performance England had been building towards since long ago peraplay
A flawed side did not come to France to thrill; winning by any means necessary had been a consistent theme peraplay
If necessity is oft the mother of invention, England at this tournament have also proved the pair can be enemies peraplay
This was a campaign at which they seemed to intentionally limit their attacking innovation or ingenuity– recognising a need to figure themselves out on the fly, they settled on an effective and eminently executable gameplan that could be implemented quickly peraplay

At the 65-minute mark, England outside backs had a combined 17 metres carried, all from one Freddie Steward kick return peraplay
The two number 13s’ offensive output on the final whistle amounted to one late Joe Marchant lug; South Africa centre Jesse Kriel went the full 80 minutes without an attacking touch peraplay
“We came with a plan to win the game but we fell a little bit short,” reflected Borthwick peraplay
“But the players should be incredibly proud peraplay
We put ourselves in a position to win against the world champions peraplay
England dominated the aerial contest to threaten a semi-final shock (Getty Images)“We were playing against a coaching team who have been in place since 2018 peraplay
We’ve had four months peraplay
I’ve asked the players to approach training and the game in a different way; for the players to be willing to change is all credit to them peraplay
”This was a night from which the head coach will take heart, a public perhaps struggling to warm to this England team are now recognising the progress made peraplay
There will be a need to layer on much, much more to consistently mix it with the world’s best but the rapidly laid foundations look rock solid peraplay
In time, perhaps the ugly duckling performances will turn into white swans peraplay
There appear to be many more buds of a bright future than first appeared in a barren landscape pre-tournament peraplay
Ben Earl has had a breakthrough tournament, and Ollie Chessum, too, while George Martin semi-final performance marks him out as the potential enforcer England have lacked peraplay
Borthwick was keen to talk up the absent Marcus Smith the day after the defeat, with the playmaker’s reinvention as a frolicking full-back of intrigue moving forward peraplay
"In our 23, seven players are 25 or under, the most of any semi-finalist, there’s a great blend and there will be lots of things we can take forward,” added Borthwick peraplay
Young England lock George Martin impressed against South Africa (Getty Images)But the fact that the men’s national team were on the brink of back-to-back finals should not provide a façade over the crumbling edifice of a fragile English game peraplay
There is a domestic mess that needs sorting, with a Gallagher Premiership containing three teams fewer than at the start of last season, now underway to little fanfare and on the brink of significant change peraplay
The renegotiation of the Professional Game Partnership is a recognition of a need for a radical overhaul in pursuit of a more financially sustainable domestic game, and one that produces a wider pool of top-class talent peraplay
The likely arrival of a form of central contracts underlines a period of epochal change peraplay
The senior figures in the squad who are unlikely to play beyond this tournament – Courtney Lawes, Ben Youngs, Dan Cole and perhaps a couple more – could well be the last England men’s internationals never to have been contracted to the union peraplay
This has a great many benefits, not least in affording Borthwick, or any head coach that might follow him, far greater access to and control over his players peraplay
And while Borthwick’s articulation of the advantages enjoyed by South Africa’s settled staff is a perfectly fair one, let us remember that the Rugby peraplay Football Union (RFU) put their head coach in this situation peraplay
The original planning for this tournament would most likely have seen Borthwick return to England camp to aid Eddie Jones at the World Cup before a smooth transition into the lead role afterwards peraplay
Jones’s sacking sparked a scramble and several months of chaos peraplay
It was not shown up on semi-final weekend but there are many reasons that the RFU still has a burden to bear peraplay
But the full wash-up will wait for another week – England’s performance at the Stade de France has earned them seven more days of grace peraplay
The tournament will end as it began for England with a meeting with Argentina in a third-place play-off that Borthwick insists he wants to win peraplay
England, captained by Owen Farrell, narrowly missed out on a place in the World Cup final (Getty Images)“I read a piece yesterday morning that talked about adversity and talked about the fact that in adversity you find that seed of belief and you’ve got to grow it,” Borthwick said peraplay
“This team has been through a bit in the last few years, a bit of adversity in the medium-term past peraplay
“I think through each of those periods the team has picked up lessons, picked up what we need to do and grown from it peraplay
I think there’s a lot of growth in this team peraplay
Sometimes it’s not the straight-forward path you want it to be peraplay
In the feelings and emotions of the game last night, I know that we’ll get stronger peraplay
