N'Golo Kante has returned to Chelsea training ahead of the Blues FA Cup final clash against Liverpool at the weekend. The Frenchman was not in Thomas Tuchel's squad for the win over Leeds on Wednesday after also missing clashes against Wolves and Everton.
Kante picked up his injury against Manchester United at Old Trafford and was substituted as a result, and Tuchel noted ahead of the trip to Elland Road that the 31-year-old was in contention to return, along with Jorginho. The Italian made it into the starting XI, that night, but Kante's belated return will be seen as soon after Mateo Kovacic was forced off injured after a rash challenge from Dan James.
The Croatian midfielder is in a race to be fit for the match against Jurgen Klopp's side but could not continue playing and saw his left ankle wrapped up and treated with ice after being substituted. Speaking following the match against Leeds, Tuchel was not confident that the 28-year-old would be able to return in time.
