N'Golo Kante has been told to consider retiring from football if he can't recover from his run of consistent injuries. The Chelsea star hasn't played since the second game of the season in August when he was substituted off against Tottenham with a hamstring knock in the second half.
That injury kept him out for over six weeks before he returned to training, by which time Graham Potter was in charge, only for the manager to have more bad news. The Frenchman then sustained another injury and had to have surgery on his hamstring, keeping him out for at least four months.
The 31-year-old missed the World Cup - which is now likely to have been his last chance to win the tournament again - and will need further time and patience to get back to match fitness. Amongst this his contract expires in June 2023 and he is able to negotiate a pre-contract with other clubs in January.
