2020-06-10T15:10:45.570Z


A time reluctant to resume training in the middle of a coronavirus pandemic, the French international was among his teammates on Tuesday, while his name is mentioned in the transfers section.


N'Golo Kanté ready to miss the resumption of the Premier League season? The hypothesis was not to be excluded, knowing that the 29-year-old world champion was not warm to the idea of ​​training in the middle of a coronavirus pandemic. He has not resumed at the same time as the rest of the Chelsea group in recent weeks, with the Premier League season starting again on June 17. Fears that have obviously not stood the test of time. The London club posted this Tuesday, on its official website, photos on which we see the former Caennais frolicking in the midst of his teammates, during the session of the day. All's well That ends well. It is however unlikely to imagine Kanté playing on June 21, against Aston Villa, for the first game of the post-coronavirus Blues. The 17th, two late matches will be on the menu, the rest of the pack still having to wait a few days to put on their crampons and resume hostilities in the league.

Great to see @nglkante back with the main group today!

Recall that the former Leicester City player, unlikely champion of England in 2016, had fears about the virus, knowing that his brother Niama died of a heart attack before the 2018 World Cup and that his father disappeared when he was only 11 years old. N'Golo Kanté had himself been ill two years ago. Blues coach former British international Frank Lampard has allowed him to stay out of the group and work alone for the past few weeks without putting pressure on him, reports in the English press.

Kanté sacrificed to finance the Blues' appetite on the transfer market?

The British media do not speak about N'Golo Kanté only to talk about his return to training. Indeed, the name of the international tricolor is mentioned in the transfers section. And it is said that the Blues could agree to let him go this summer ... It must be said that Chelsea seems willing to compensate for its recent recruitment ban by firing on all cylinders. After having announced the arrival of Hakim Ziyech (Ajax Amsterdam) already a few weeks ago, and while Timo Werner (RB Leipzig) is announced on approach, the London club would have decided to blow the German nugget of Bayer Leverkusen , Kai Havertz, to the rest of the competition. In recent days, there has also been an interest in the English international back of Leicester Ben Chilwell. Movements that the Blues could finance, at least in part, by a possible transfer of N'Golo Kanté, as reported by the Sun , citing PSG as a potential base. According to AS , Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are also following this matter closely, respectively to succeed Casemiro and Sergio Busquets.

In the meantime, it is with Chelsea that the Paris native will resume the game and the Premier League in the coming weeks, while French football is still more in the dark after the decisions of the Council of State. Remember that Kanté, 29, is under contract until 2023, he who joined Stamford Bridge in 2016 against a check for around € 35 million. In case of departure, it is said that the amount would be close to double.
