It was largely reported that he was ready to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, with new reports emerging on Monday that Manchester United could offer Alejandro Garnacho in a right swap agreement against Nkunku.

“It is doing very well in the last four days.
“Of course, tomorrow we are going to rotate. We will see if there is a chance for those who do not play much.”
Maresca had criticized Nkunku’s performance earlier in the season, leaving him for a visit to West London Rival Fulham and publicly confirming that the decision was technical.
When asked if an injury had caused the player’s absence in the derby, Maresca said: “No, it’s just a technical decision.”
