Frank Lampard has provided a promising update on N'Golo Kante ahead of Chelsea's clash with Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final. Carlo Ancelotti's side will welcome the Blues to the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday evening as they look to pile on the misery for the visitors.
Kante was omitted from the travelling Chelsea squad to face Wolves over the weekend and, despite fears of an injury, the midfielder was rested as a precaution. The France international has only recently returned from a hamstring issue which he picked up in August.
The 32-year-old enjoyed a brief cameo off the bench against Aston Villa before leading Chelsea out against Liverpool with the captain's armband. After missing the clash at Molineux, Lampard is hopeful that Kante will be ready and raring to go in the Spanish capital as the Blues look to return to winning ways.
