Frank Lampard has delivered a glowing verdict on Chelsea star N'Golo Kante ahead of the Blues' Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid. The Frenchman has been plagued by a hamstring injury for almost all of this season, only returning to the matchday squad in the middle of March.
Understandably, given his seven-month absence, Kante has been eased back into first-team action. On March 18, for the Premier League clash against Everton, the 32-year-old was named on the bench before delivering a positive 30-minute cameo against Aston Villa.
Three days on from his official playing return, Kante started against Liverpool before being rested against Wolves that weekend with it later being confirmed by Lampard it was the plan all along.
