Bad news for the Blues and for the Blues. Chelsea coach Frank Lampard was worried about French midfielder N'Golo Kanté, who came out after 10 minutes against Manchester United on Monday night due to an adductor injury.
“It's an adductor injury. We will have to assess it but it does not look good, "he simply said after the game lost to the Red Devils (2-0) which puts their fourth place and a possible qualification in the League Champions in danger.
Olivier Giroud has replayed
A meeting where Olivier Giroud, blocked by his club during the winter transfer window, entered and was denied a goal by the Var.
Kanté had limped out of the field without having been the victim of a particular shock, after having been treated for a few seconds on the playing area. If the diagnosis is confirmed, his participation in the knockout stages of the Champions League against Bayern Munich in a week could be compromised.
It is a very complicated season for the world champion who has already missed almost ten games with his team due to an ankle problem and a muscle injury. He was also injured late last season.
N'Golo Kanté is also one of the key players for Didier Deschamps, the coach of the Blues. The latter have two Euro 2020 preparation matches planned for the end of March, the 27 against Ukraine and the 31 against Finland.
