  • The 29-year-old played the entire World Cup qualifier against Ukraine this week, but he was injured at the very end of the match.

    After a medical assessment, it was confirmed that Kante had a minor hamstring issue and he has now returned to the club for further treatment.

    Kante picked up a similar injury previously with France and it took him more than three weeks to return to the playing field.

    The Blues will be hoping that he makes a quicker recovery this time around with a crucial Champions League tie against Porto next month.

    Following this, they make the trip to Porto for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final tie, scheduled for April 7.
