N'Golo Kante Says Maurizio Sarri Didn't Make 'Mistake' to Cause Hamstring Injury

Chelsea's N'Golo Kante has defended manager Maurizio Sarri after the Italian said he made a "mistake" that led to the midfielder suffering a hamstring injury.

The Frenchman had to be withdrawn early in the Blues' 3-0 win over Watford on Sunday, and Sarri said he should not have started Kante.

However, per Goal's Nizaar Kinsella, the 28-year-old has not held him responsible:

"No. I was just fine, and it just happened. I'm OK, I just have pain through my hamstring, and I just need a bit of time to check what it is.
