The manager of Chelsea, Graham Potter, at the weekend expressed excitement and relief over the return N’Golo Kante to Chelsea squad after seven months of being off the pitch due to injury. Kante returned for the game against Everton at the weekend. That was Kante’s first outing in Chelsea since Potter took over from Thomas Tuchel.
Kante has been off the pitch in the past seven months following hamstring injury for which he went through surgery.
Potter was cited to have declared, “There is a chance for him to be in the squad.
“It would be the first time, so, it’s fantastic. Managers before me have spoken very highly of N’Golo because he’s a top, top player.
“He’s been a huge miss to us. That’s not to say the other players haven’t given absolutely everything because they have, but N’Golo Kante is N’Golo Kante. A top player.
“It’s great for us he’s back. We need to be mindful of the fact he’s had a long injury and we need to take the next steps to get him up to speed in the Premier League, which is what we’ll do.”
