Kanté Returns to Chelsea Training, Bolstering In-Form BluesKanté Returns to Chelsea Training, Bolstering In-Form Blues Chelsea received a major boost in their bid for silverware as influential midfielder N’Golo Kanté returned to training at Cobham on Wednesday. The French World Cup winner has been sidelined since August with a hamstring injury. Kanté’s return to full fitness is a timely one for Chelsea, who have been in excellent form in recent weeks. The Blues have won their last three Premier League matches, scoring 11 goals and conceding just two. With Manchester City’s stuttering start to the season, it is believed that Chelsea could launch a serious title challenge this campaign. The return of Kanté would make them an even more formidable force. The 31-year-old’s exceptional defensive qualities and ability to break up play have made him one of the most highly-rated midfielders in world football. He was named Chelsea’s Player of the Year in 2017 and helped France lift the World Cup in 2018. Chelsea fans will be hoping that Kanté can make a swift return to action. He is likely to be eased back into the team gradually, but his experience and leadership would be invaluable in the Blues’ pursuit of trophies. Manager Graham Potter said of Kanté’s return: “It’s great news to have NG back. He’s a world-class player and his presence in the team will make a big difference. We’ll have to manage him carefully, but we’re excited to have him back.” Kanté’s return to training is a major boost for Chelsea in their quest for success this season. The Blues will now be confident of challenging on multiple fronts, with the French midfielder adding steel and nous to their already formidable squad.
