N'Golo Kante told he should consider retiring amid Chelsea injury woes

Former Chelsea star Frank Leboeuf is worried Blues star N'Golo Kante may be nearing the end of his career after struggling with injuries over the past two seasons.

France international Kante made an instant impact for the Blues in the 2016-17 season, leading them to Premier League glory and being named player of the season for the competition as a whole. He has continued to play a major part when fit, but the last couple of seasons have presented challenges for the 31-year-old.

The former Leicester City star played just 26 times in the league last season, and a series of setbacks this term mean he has yet to feature under new manager Graham Potter. After seeing injury keep his compatriot out of France's World Cup squad, Leboeuf has suggested it could be time for something drastic.
