'Our version of Messi!' - Chelsea fans cannot believe what N'Golo Kante did in training

Chelsea return to Premier League action on Saturday evening when they travel the short distance to Brentford.

A 3-1 victory against Southampton before the international break sent the Blues to the top of the Premier League table but the Bees will be no pushover, particularly in their own back yard.

Thomas Frank's troops have already beaten Arsenal at the Brentford Community Stadium and taken points off Liverpool in a thrilling 3-3 draw; they will no doubt be relishing the chance to face the reigning European champions.

Ahead of the clash, however, Chelsea received a boost as N'Golo Kante returned to full fitness.

The midfielder missed international duty with France to recover fully from coronavirus and he appears to be right back at the peak of his powers, if a recent clip from training is anything to go by.

In a training match, Kante was filmed running nearly the length of the minimised pitch, cruelly leaving Malang Sarr on the floor before chipping the ball over the on-rushing Marcus Bettinelli.

The popular midfielder is loved by the Stamford Bridge faithful, having been a huge part of their success over the past five years, so it was no surprise to see them go crazy for this latest display of excellence.
