Chelsea boss provides latest update about N’Golo Kante’s injury

Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel has provided a positive news about the injury of star midfielder N’Golo Kante.

N’Golo Kante was missing in Chelsea first Premier League match of the season against Crystal Palace despite appearing in the UEFA Super Cup victory over Villarreal.

The France international was substituted in the second half of the match against Villarreal and fans were surprised to see him miss the clash against Crystal Palace.

However, Tuchel has revealed that world cup winner should be back in contention for Chelsea second match of the season against Arsenal on Sunday.

According to Tuchel, Kante felt discomfort in his ankle on Friday.

Tuchel noted that Kante felt this same pain in the warm-up to the Super Cup match against Villarreal and he already played a little bit in pain and overcame the pain in that game.

However, on Friday the world cup winner felt it again and the coaching crew decided to take him out and not to take any risk now at the beginning of the season.

Tuchel added that N’Golo will be back in the middle of the week to hopefully be ready for Arsenal.

Kante has become one of Chelsea’s most important player ever since he joined from Leicester City and has been tipped to win the Ballon d’Or this season.
