Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante has returned to contact training ahead of the Premier League’s comeback next week, the Blues confirmed on Tuesday. The French World Cup winner had been allowed to continue training at home when his teammates returned to training last month due to fears over coronavirus.
The 29-year-old is not expected to be match fit in time for Chelseas opening game of Project Restart against Aston Villa on June 21.
However, Kante could now play an important role in the run-in as Chelsea aim to hold onto a place in the Premier League’s top four.
