Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino made reporters laugh on several occasions during today's press conference.

The Argentine has been in a fantastic mood since his side beat Tottenham 4-1 on Monday night.

Such a big Premier League win eased a lot of pressure on Pochettino, who was speaking about attacker Christopher Nkunku with reporters.

He jokingly called the France star a liar for claiming that he could be back within one or two weeks.

"We had some conversation," Pochettino said on Nkunku.

"He said to me, 'Coach, I want to be ready for after the international break, [against] Newcastle'. I said, 'You are a liar', that is the truth.

"Nah, it's close. He's doing really, really, really well. We are so happy with him and how he's doing his recovery. He is so professional.

"Romeo Lavia is also close. They were training today on the pitch. We hope that next week they will be involved with the team and then we will see after. We need to assess them and see when it is possible for them to play with the team."
