Lampard confirms N'Golo Kante could face up to three weeks on the sideline

Chelsea midfielder maestro N’Golo Kante could be sidelined for up to three weeks with an adductor injury, according to reports in the French media.

The France international was substituted 12 minutes into the 2-0 defeat to Manchester United on Monday night with manager Frank Lampard confirming after the game that the prognosis did not look good for the Frenchman.

Kante has certainly had his fair share of injuries this campaign. He started the season sidelined with a knee problem, before picking up ankle and hamstring injuries in the opening few months of the campaign.

This latest issue will mean that he will miss crucial games against Tottenham on Saturday, as well as the Champions League last 16 clash against Bayern Munich next week.

 Depending on how accurate the reports are about the extent of his injury, Kante could also miss the FA Cup tie versus Liverpool as well as the home game against Everton...
