COVID-19: Chelsea to Support N’Golo Kante on Decision to Avoid Training Due to Health Issue

Published

Chelsea has decided that the club will continue to lend full support to its midfielder, N’Golo Kante, after the 29-year-old decided to stay away from the club’s training due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

According to The Sun, Chelsea could even permit Kante to miss the rest of the Premier League campaign.

Kante’s season had already been interrupted by a series of minor injuries.

The France World Cup winner decided against training on Wednesday.

The former Leicester City star lost his older brother to a heart attack just weeks before the 2018 World Cup, and a few months earlier, the player himself fainted in training before being given a clean bill of health.

Meanwhile, Chelsea coach, Frank Lampard, had admitted earlier this month that he felt sorry for his overworked Kante.

Lampard said: “N’Golo Kante has played four or five incredible seasons in terms of his success and he has been used quite rightly by his managers a lot.

“This season he’s played only about 40% of our games, and even then it’s been difficult for him, and I have felt for him on an individual level.”
