Champions League!! See Team News For Roma v Chelsea As Kante Returns For The Blues

Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante could return from injury for Tuesday’s Champions League trip to Roma.

Kante, 26, has not played for the Blues since 30 September because of a hamstring injury.

Danny Drinkwater is also set to be included in the squad following a calf problem, with Victor Moses (hamstring) the only definite absentee.

A win for Chelsea would secure a last-16 spot with two games to spare in Group C.

“Kante has trained with us,” said Blues boss Antonio Conte. “It’s very important in this moment to speak with the player.

“I was a player and I know very well after an injury – above all a muscular problem, a bad injury – it’s very important to listen to the player, to find out his sensation and then make the best decision for him and the team.

“We will try to make the best decision.”
