Graham Potter has confirmed that N'Golo Kante will miss Chelsea's clash with Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League round of 16, second-leg. The Blues are set to welcome the German side to Stamford Bridge tomorrow evening (Tuesday) as they look to turnaround a one-goal deficit.
Kante, who sees his contract with the west London outfit expire in the summer, is yet to feature under Potter after suffering a hamstring injury against Tottenham in August. The France international has been doing some light training with the rest of the Chelsea squad at Cobham as he finally nears match-fitness again.
But despite some initial hopes he may be involved, Potter has confirmed he will not feature. The 47-year-old said: "Reece [James], we'll make a decision on him tomorrow. Christian Pulisic is in the squad, but it is too soon for N'Golo [Kante] but he's looking good."
