Antonio Conte has hinted that midfielder N’Golo Kante might return to action against Manchester United.

While speaking at the pre-match press conference on Friday, the Italian manager said that Kante has been recovering well and will most probably be assessed tomorrow to see if he can feature against Manchester United on Sunday.

Conte said, “He’s progressing well. We have also tomorrow and then I will take the best decision for him, for the team.”

Kante has been missing from action since he picked up a hamstring injury while on international duty for France last month. Since then the midfield powerhouse has missed a total of six games for the Blues resulting in a loss of two matches for Antonio Conte’s side. The Blues’ defensive qualities have also deteriorated considerably as they have conceded 11 goals in the absence of Kante.

The Chelsea manager will be eagerly waiting for the final call on Kante’s selection tomorrow and he will be hoping that the results come out in his favour.
