CARNEY CHUKWUEMEKA HAS undergone surgery on the knee injury he sustained playing for Chelsea against West Ham on Sunday.
He had surgery on Monday night after being withdrawn 15 minutes from the end of his side’s loss in east London, the first defeat of Pochettino’s tenure. The PA news agency understands that should Newcastle choose to make the deal permanent in a year’s time, the deal will include an additional £ 7 million in possible add-ons plus a sell-on fee owed to Chelsea should he later depart.
His first start had come in a 1-0 defeat at St James’ Park in November, playing 73 minutes before being substituted, and after impressing interim boss Frank Lampard he went on to start in each of Chelsea’s final four games of the season.
