Chelsea star back in full training after injury

Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante has returned to full training after recovering from a hamstring injury.

The 31-year-old has not featured for the Blues since the London derby against Tottenham Hotspur in early August.

He returned to individual training last week, and now appears on course to make his comeback on the playing field.

Kante has been sorely missed at the heart of the midfield for the Blues and he will now work under a new manager.

Graham Potter replaced Thomas Tuchel this month, and the Englishman has a huge job ahead with the London giants.

The club have made a slow start to the campaign. They have accumulated just 10 points from the first six league games.

In the Champions League, they have amassed one point from two outings, and now face a double-header with AC Milan.

Potter will be aiming to turnaround the club's fortunes. Kante's return is a big boost, but he needs to be handled with caution.
