Graham Potter has ruled N'Golo Kante out of Saturday afternoon's clash with Crystal Palace.
The Chelsea midfielder returned to training this week following a hamstring injury that has kept him out since the draw with Tottenham in August. Potter, who will be taking charge of his first Premier League match as Blues head coach, has given an update on Kante's fitness.
He said: "They're absolutely fine in terms of coming through their rehab stages. NG [Kante] has just been on the grass with the team but not full training.
