FC Heidenheim 1846 v Chelsea FC - UEFA Conference League 2024/25 League Phase MD4] Chukwuemeka joined Dortmund on loan from Chelsea on January deadline day but was forced to wait for his debut after picking up an injury in training.
Of course, Chukwuemeka could come back to Chelsea and become a key player under Maresca, but Dortmund have the option to make the loan permanent for £40m in the summer and if he fulfils his potential that could certainly happen.
In the 69th minute, Carney Chukwuemeka came off the bench to make his league debut for the German side and made an instant impact, helping his teammates score four goals in 14 minutes to complete the rout.
A Chelsea loan star, who was exiled from the first-team by Enzo Maresca, enjoyed a ‘sensationally good’ debut for his new club.
Chelsea may now be regretting their treatment of the 21-year-old, with Kovac full of praise for Chukwuemeka, who nearly got an assist with his first touch for Dortmund.
