Chelsea’s N’Golo Kanté set to miss Europa League final with knee injury
• Midfielder hurt in training and being assessed
• Chelsea play Arsenal in Baku on Wednesday



Chelsea’s preparations for Wednesday’s Europa League final have endured another serious setback after N’Golo Kanté suffered a knee injury in training which is expected to rule him out of the showpiece in Baku.

Kanté is understood to have damaged the knee in a session on Saturday and departed the pitch in clear discomfort, with Chelsea’s medical staff due to assess the joint on Sunday afternoon to ascertain the gravity of the injury. However, their initial impressions are believed to have been far from promising.

The France midfielder had missed the previous two games after sustaining a hamstring injury in the victory over Watford this month but had recovered sufficiently to resume training at Cobham early last week. Maurizio Sarri was confident the World Cup winner would be fit to feature in the final against Arsenal, with Chelsea’s squad due to depart for Baku on Monday afternoon. Those hopes appear to have been dashed, leaving Sarri considering selecting a midfield trio of Ross Barkley, Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic.

Kanté would become the fourth senior player ruled out of the final, with the other three in rehabilitation from long-term injuries. Antonio Rudiger suffered his own knee problems in the run-in and, having hobbled off after suffering a relapse in the draw at Manchester United, underwent surgery to repair the meniscus in the joint in his left leg.

Chelsea hope to have him available for pre-season, though that will come too soon for Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, whose ruptured achilles tendons required operations. Both would have featured for England in next month’s Nations League in Portugal.

Hudson-Odoi, so impressive since breaking into the team, fell awkwardly during a home draw with Burnley in April, while Loftus-Cheek saw his best run of form in a Chelsea shirt interrupted after he suffered his own injury during the team’s appearance in a charity match in Boston after the conclusion of the Premier League season. “I’m sure he will be able to return stronger,” said Sarri of the midfielder. “I don’t know the timing because it’s very difficult to say now: four months to six months.”

【Now Sports-體育】據傳媒報道，車路士中場尼高路簡迪周六操練時出現新傷，大有機會未能趕及歐霸決賽復出。

因腿筋受傷而錯過英超煞科戰的車路士中場尼高路簡迪（N'Golo Kante），原本已在今周重返賽場操練，為周中歐霸盃決賽作備戰，但據Goal.com報道，簡迪周六的一課操練卻突然改短，原因是膝蓋扭傷，暫時未知傷勢的嚴重性，但初步觀察這名法國中場未能趕及對阿仙奴的決賽中復出。

如簡迪真的因新傷缺陣，對領隊沙利而言是一大打擊，車路士早已肯定有羅夫度斯卓克、赫臣奧杜爾和魯迪加缺陣，如果再有簡迪未能上陣，對車仔中場線的兵源帶來影響。

尼高路簡迪早前對屈福特時腿筋受傷，早已在歐霸盃4強次回合缺陣，當時簡迪坦言若車路士能夠晉身5月29日的歐霸盃決賽，到時才有機會復出，就連沙利最近接受訪問時也明言簡迪可在決賽復出，想不到卻在操練中再度受傷。

Sarri on whether N'Golo Kante will be fit: "He had a very little problem on Saturday with his knee. The problem is the timing because we only have four days. We are trying. It is not really a very serious injury. At the moment, we don't know. It is 50-50."
