Chukwuemeka slid to the ground clutching his left knee just seconds after colliding with Emerson Palmieri, and after a protracted halt for medical care, he limped away. Several staff members assisted the England Under-20 player as he left the field, and he was subsequently seen using crutches to leave the London Stadium.
The star underwent surgery on Monday
According to the reports, Chukwuemeka underwent a scan on Monday, and the team is awaiting the results to determine the exact nature of the injury.

Chukwuemeka seemed to be in fine form
Chukwuemeka started both of the Blues’ opening Premier League games this season, and upon his return, he is anticipated to maintain his key position in the starting eleven. The Englishman shared earlier this month his personal goals for the campaign, his role on the side, and his collaboration with Pochettino.
According to Chukwuemeka, his personal goal is to make the starting lineup this season. In addition to simply assisting in the team’s victories and, ideally, trophy wins, he has given himself the objective of contributing more to goals and assists this season. To make the starting XI is the main goal. He even complimented the Blues manager for instilling in him the belief that he belonged here and could prove what he was capable of. He can’t thank the gaffer enough for helping him out; now he just needs to keep working hard and get better every single day.
