N'Golo Kante Set for Late Fitness Test Ahead of UEL Final After Knee Injury

Chelsea are sweating on N'Golo Kante's fitness ahead of Wednesday's UEFA Europa League final after he suffered a knee injury in training on Saturday.

The Blues will assess his fitness shortly before the showpiece with Arsenal, per Simon Johnson of the Evening Standard:

#Kante's injury isn't as bad as first feared and he has travelled to #Baku with the rest of the #cfc squad. Still doesn't mean he will be fit to start on Wednesday though. Could be big decision for #Sarri to make. https://t.co/CSjN5QVqIH

Per Johnson, a scan allayed fears the midfielder had suffered ligament damage, but the club are unsure if he'll be able to feature.
