Chelsea star N'golo Kante's future in west London remains significantly up in the air as the 31-year-old recovers from a long-term hamstring injury. Kante is yet to feature under new manager Graham Potter after picking up an injury in the 2-2 draw with Tottenham in the second week of the season.
After suffering the initial problem on August 14, Chelsea confirmed nearly two months later that Kante had undergone surgery on his hamstring and would be side lined for four months. Due to the long-term rehabilitation needed, Kante has missed the World Cup with France and could be set to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season with his contract up in the summer of 2023.
Jorginho will also see his Blues deal expire at the same time with Chelsea likely preparing huge transfer moves, particularly in midfield for the following two windows as Todd Boehly seeks to revamp the Blues squad with several big-money acquisitions.
