Kante still not fit
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard confirmed midfielder N’Golo Kante will not return for Saturday’s visit to Wolves in the Premier League and faces a race against time to make Tuesday’s Champions League opener against Valencia.
Kante has not featured since a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester nearly a month ago.
“He still has issues with his ankle and the medical team are working with him,” said Lampard on Friday.
“He’s in a bit of a transitional period now where we’re trying to get him on the pitch and he’s doing some physical work but this game comes too soon for him.”
However, Lampard will be able to welcome back Antonio Rudiger for the first time this season.
