N’Golo Kante plays a big role in Chelsea’s success in the Champions League this season and the Blues are in the hope that the defensive midfielder. He got a hamstring injury during their Premier League game against Leicester City as now they are ready to take on Manchester City in the Champions League Final on Saturday.
Former Manchester City player David James felt that Kante’s fitness is a very crucial factor in ths=is clash of EPL giants. He reported TOI that it is to be seen whether it was actually a hamstring tear that he sustained or whether he came off apprehending that it could be a tear. He also added that if the latter is true then it is difficult for him to be fit for the final. he has been phenomenal through the season and without him, Chelsea had struggled to control many games. For him, Kante and Edouard Mendu (the goalkeeper who is also returning from a rib injury) are the most important players for Chelsea.
He further added that yes, there is a possibility of it being on the back of his mind. He is just wondering whether Thomas Tuchel has kept him in the squad just to make a suggestion that he is available and make Pep Guardiola change his plans. Few mind games are going to go on.
