Kante suffers injury blow against Leicester City

Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante has suffered an injury blow, which could potentially see him miss the Champions League final.

The Frenchman has been in-and-out of the starting line-up over the past few months with manager Thomas Tuchel being cautious over his fitness.

Kante partnered Jorginho in midfield against Leicester City tonight, but he was substituted in the 31st minute with a knock.

The exact problem will be revealed after the match, but it is certainly a big concern for the Blues ahead of the Manchester City clash.

They have received a boost with the return of Mateo Kovacic after a hamstring injury and hopefully, it is nothing serious with Kante.

The Frenchman has been injury-free for most of the season, and he has been one of their best-performing players in recent months.

He recently played a starring role in the Champions League semi-final ties against Real Madrid, where the Blues won by a 3-1 scoreline.
