Kante hands Chelsea huge injury concern ahead of Europa League final against Arsenal

There are reports N’Golo Kante could miss the Europa League final after the midfielder sustained an injury setback during training on Saturday.

Kante had almost completely recovered from a hamstring injury and was expected to feature in Wednesday’s clash against Arsenal in Baku.

However, the Frenchman now looks to be facing an extended period on the sidelines after reports of aggravating the problem.

According to Goal, Kante is now considered a major doubt to play against Arsenal.

Maurizio Sarri indicated last week that he was optimistic about Kante’s chances of regaining full fitness before the final, so this news will come as a bitter blow for Chelsea.

Kante is likely to have further fitness tests this week to determine whether or not he is capable of playing some part against Arsenal, report the Daily Mail.

Chelsea are have concerns over Jorginho, who also suffered a slight problem during an open session last week.

Sarri’s squad has already been reduced to the bare bones with Callum Hudson-Odoi, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Antonio Rudiger all out with serious injuries.
