N'Golo Kante could miss the remainder of the Premier League season after suffering a groin injury on Friday. The Chelsea midfielder is absent from the matchday squad to face Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge this afternoon with Mateo Kovacic replacing him in the starting line-up.
Speaking to Chelsea TV before kick-off, Frank Lampard explained Kante's absence from the squad and offered a worrying update on the Frenchman's fitness. The Blues caretaker boss said: "We lost N'Golo in training yesterday.
"He felt something in his groin. So that's probably a couple of weeks and we know what that means pretty much. We just have to keep going."
