When N'Golo Kante could make Chelsea return after injury as contract talks reach critical stage

Chelsea have certainly rued the absence of N'Golo Kante this season so his imminent return will come as a huge boost. And, there won't be anyone more excited to welcome the 31-year-old back to Stamford Bridge than Graham Potter.

Kante, who sees his contract with the Blues expire in the summer, is yet to feature under the former Brighton boss after suffering a hamstring injury against Tottenham in August. The France international has been doing some light training with the rest of the Chelsea squad at Cobham recently as he finally nears his match-fitness again, football.london understands.

It's said that he's been targeting a return to first-team action at the start of March. And, it just so happens that Kante could be returning at the perfect time with a number of blockbuster clashes in Chelsea's calendar.
