N'Golo Kante to miss Chelsea's Europa League final with Arsenal through injury

N'Golo Kante will miss the Europa League Final between Chelsea and Arsenal.

The French midfielder is a key player for Chelsea but a knee injury suffered in training will rule him out of the Baku showdown.

Kante had been recovering from a calf injury when he suffered the setback and is another worry for Maurizio Sarri ahead of Wednesday night's clash, report the Mirror.

Chelsea's doctors are checking on his injury but it's likely he will be ruled out of the game.

He'll join Antonio Rudiger, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek on the treatment table for the final.

It leaves Chelsea short in midfield with Jorginho, Ross Barley and Matteo Kovacic their only fit senior players in that position.

Chelsea head to Baku on Monday with Arsenal already flying out on Saturday.
