Chelsea suffer N'Golo Kante setback as Graham Potter explains Hakim Ziyech absence ahead of AC Milan

Graham Potter has revealed that N'Golo Kante has suffered a reaction in training that must be assessed, as the Frenchman misses Chelsea's match against AC Milan on Tuesday night. Hakim Ziyech will also miss the trip to the San Siro as he misses the game through illness.

Kante, Ziyech and Wesley Fofana were the first team players not to travel to Italy ahead of the game against AC Milan, with none of the trio involved in training at Cobham early on Monday. Fofana is set to miss a number of weeks of football, having strained his knee in Chelsea's Stamford Bridge clash against the Serie A side.

The Blues are waiting to discover the extent of Kante's setback, with Potter admitting it is not an ideal situation.
