Kante Doubtful for Chelsea’s Norwich Clash

By:brightwebtv.com/nana asare barimah

N’Golo Kante is a doubt for Chelsea’s trip to Norwich on Saturday, with manager Frank Lampard confirming he has been carrying an ankle sprain.

The French midfielder is thought to have picked up the injury during last weekend’s 1-1 draw with Leicester. Though he completed the full 90 minutes at Stamford Bridge, he hasn’t completed a full training session since then.

Kante will be assessed before the game at Carrow Road, with defender Antonio Rudiger also out but hoped to be back in contention for next weekend as the Blues face another promoted side in Sheffield United.

With Chelsea playing in the weekend’s early fixture on Saturday lunchtime, Kante won’t have long to prove his fitness and Lampard may decide that his key midfielder isn’t worth risking.

However, with the former Derby County boss still looking for his first competitive win in charge of the Blues, losing him would be a disappointing blow ahead of a game Chelsea will be expected to win.
