No Kante for Chelsea in their next five games

After Chelsea midfielder N'golo Kante was replaced in the game against Manchester United on Monday night due to injury, the Frenchman has been confirmed with a small tear in his groin.

Kante will be out of action for the meantime and will miss Chelsea next five games.

The Chelsea engine room will miss the game against Tottenham, Bayern Munich, Bournemouth, Liverpool and Everton.

Chelsea playing those games without their top man Kante will be difficult for the Lampard led side as they hope to make the top four in the English Premier League and to also overcome Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League round of 16.
