Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel revealed N’Golo Kante will NOT play 90 minutes against Everton as he provided an injury update.

The Frenchman returned to the squad at the end of January having been sidelined with a hamstring problem.

He has started the Blues’ last three matches and was a key figure in their away trip at Liverpool, providing the assist for Mason Mount’s winner.

Tuchel confirmed the 29-year-old will have some form of rest and said: “This is unbelievable and we see his intensity in the physical report after matches and we think maybe they tracked two people and put it into one sheet.

“It is unbelievable what he delivers in terms of intensity and ball recoveries and of devotion for a group.

“This is world class, the highest level, and we are very happy he is in our squad. He comes from injury.

“He will not play now all games 90 minutes before we arrive at the international break. We have to manage him.”
