The future of Chelsea midfield star N'Golo Kante is uncertain ahead of the final few months of his contract at Stamford Bridge. The France international has been a key part of the side since joining from Leicester City in 2016 but recent seasons have seen him impacted by injuries.
Kante has managed to make very few appearances this campaign in particular, with different managers taking charge of his previous three games in the Premier League. With the midfielder back to full fitness, interim manager Frank Lampard will be hoping for a huge boost on his return.
"N’Golo [Kante] is a special player," the former midfielder said in the build-up to the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash with Real Madrid. "I understand what you mean in terms of consistency and the problems N’Golo has had with injuries. But in terms of coming back and playing at a really high level, I have witnessed him do it.
