The Frenchman linked up with Nicolas Jackson well in the opening stages for the Blues, who once again started positively under Mauricio Pochettino.

Nkunku, however, could not recover from a tackle in the opening stages and hobbled off in the 22nd minute.

The game was played on a dreadful pitch at Soccer Field in the Windy City and both teams struggled to convince in the final third.

Marius Wolf had given Dortmund a late lead but young striker Mason Burstow ensured Pochettino remained unbeaten in his first pre-season in charge of the Blues by scoring a late header.

Chelsea entertain Liverpool in their Premier League opener next weekend and can take some optimism into the meeting. The injury to Nkunku, however, is a real worry for the club given they are already light on attackers.

Colwill cements starting place as Pochettino deals with attacking concerns

Chelsea ended their pre-season tour of the United States with a draw against Borussia Dortmund but it was marred by Christopher Nkunku’s injury.

The 25-year-old started in a strong lineup but was forced to withdraw after a knee issue.

Mauricio Pochettino played what will surely be his team to face Liverpool on the opening day of the Premier League season.

He will have been happy with the performance as Marius Wolf and Chelsea academy striker Mason Burstow got the goals in the 1-1 draw in Chicago.

Chelsea ratings: Colwill brilliant but Sterling offers little

Christopher Nkunku’s injury soured an outstanding pre-season for Chelsea which was bookended with a 1-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund.

Marius Wolf opened the scoring by tapping in Samuel Bamba’s shot but academy striker Mason Burstow equalised in the 90th minute.

Chelsea should have won having dominated through the 90 minutes, however, but saw chances cleared off the line, were denied a stone wall penalty and were, at times, wasteful in front of goal.

Mauricio Pochettino will be happy with what he saw despite losing his first match since joining Chelsea.
