Chelsea prepare to face Crystal Palace on Wednesday, December 27, 2023.
The Blues suffered a 2-1 defeat in their previous league game against Wolves, while Palace faced Brighton and played a 1-1 draw.
Nkunku has made his return to the Blues squad and he scored his first goal against Wolves.
Speaking ahead of the Palace game, Pochettino said: “I think his best position is more like a 10 or a 9, more than the left or right side like a winger”.
“He is now starting to understand the Premier League, that teams are very aggressive and the football is very different to other countries”.
