N'Golo Kante Suffers Injury Setback as Blues Sweat Over Star's Fitness Ahead of Europa League Final

N'Golo Kante has suffered another injury setback in a potential blow to Chelsea ahead of the Europa League final.

The France international had been set to recover from a calf strain in time to face London rivals Arsenal in Baku, having sustained the problem during the Blues' Premier League clash with Watford in May.

Kante had stepped up his recovery and returned to full training as Chelsea prepare for the Europa League final on Wednesday but, according to Goal, the 28-year-old suffered a fresh knock in training on Saturday which leaves his fitness in doubt ahead of the showdown.
