Frank Lampard reveals when N’Golo Kante will return to training, may feature against Ajax

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has revealed that N’Golo Kante will return to first-team training this weekend.

The French midfielder has been plagued by injuries this season and has been absent since returning from the international break earlier this month.

He has not played since the 4-1 win at Southampton at the beginning of October with a series of hamstring, knee and ankle knocks restricting him to just three Premier League starts this term.

Sportsmail quoted Lampard as saying: ‘He’s going to hopefully join training in the next two or three days. Hopefully. He’s important, he’s a top player.

This weekend’s trip to Watford may come soon but he is expected to be included for the visit of Ajax next Tuesday.
