The France international returned to action last week in a friendly game.
Meanwhile, talkSPORT host Ally McCoist reckons that it is time for Chelsea to part ways with Kante. Speaking on the Sports Breakfast show, McCoist was asked to name the Chelsea players that he wants to get rid of in the summer. [ Chelsea Newsnow ]
He responded, “It is a tough question, I have looked at the squad. They have got 32 players, which is ridiculous so you could start anywhere. Cesar Azpilicueta and N’Golo Kante, which might surprise a few people. He’s 31, you need to look at his fitness.”
