GRAHAM POTTER has been handed a mega midfield boost with N’Golo Kante returning to Chelsea training.
The Frenchman, 31, has played just two games this season.
He has suffered with a hamstring injury which has seen him miss 30 games for the Blues.
And Chelsea has suffered as a result of Kante’s absence, with the Stamford Bridge club stuck in mid-table while also recording just one win so far in 2023.
But in a boost to under pressure boss Potter, Kante has returned to Chelsea training.
The Premier League, Champions League and World Cup winner has been snapped being put through his paces.

And Kante’s return also has fans purring over the prospect of a partnership with club and British transfer record signing, Enzo Fernandez.
The World Cup-winning Argentine has struggled since his £106million January transfer from Benfica.
A fan said on Twitter: “N’Golo Fernandez.”
Another tweeted on a Kante-Fernandez partnership: “If that doesn’t work then I don’t know what will.”
