‘the engine is back = Fans Delighted As Club Share Latest Training Footage
Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante is back in light training ahead of this weekend’s game against Crystal Palace. The Frenchman has been sidelined since the 2-2 draw against Tottenham last month after picking up a hamstring injury and fans on Twitter are excited that he is close to making his comeback:

The Blues do lack a cutting edge in midfield when Kante isn’t available and his return to action will be a huge boost for manager Graham Potter, who will want to have every player fit so that he can get his team firing on all cylinders as soon as possible. It is important to note that Kante is being eased back into full training so we shall have to wait and see whether Potter believes he is ready for the trip to Selhurst Park.
Palace is never an easy place to go, with Patrick Vieira’s side always making it tough for their opponents, so having Kante fit would be a tremendous help.
