Chelsea have been handed a huge boost with N’Golo Kante poised to return to first-team training this weekend.
The French midfielder has been plagued by injuries this season and has been absent since returning from the international break earlier this month. He has not played since the 4-1 win at Southampton at the beginning of
October with a series of hamstring, knee and ankle knocks restricting him to just three Premier League starts this term.
Frank Lampard revealed on Wednesday that his lynchpin’s return is imminent.
The Chelsea boss said: ”He’s going to hopefully join training in the next two or three days.
Hopefully. He’s important, he’s a top player.”
