Chelsea’s star midfield pairing of N’Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic are reportedly due to return to training soon in a major boost for Thomas Tuchel.
According to reports from The Evening Standard, it is claimed that Kante is set for a much-awaited return to full training on Tuesday ahead of the Blues squaring up against Merseyside outfit Everton in Premier League action later this week.
Kante’s midfield partner Kovacic is also in line to make his way back into the Stamford Bridge fold after a spell on the sidelines which was extended following a positive test for COVID-19.
The Croatian international was tipped to make the squad for the recent win over Leeds United only for a positive Covid test meaning he had to spend a minimum of 10 days in isolation.
Both players’ absence in recent weeks has forced the gaffer Tuchel to field the likes of Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Saul in emergency roles with the latter failing to impress as Chelsea mull over terminating his loan stint in the English capital earlier than the due date.
