Chelsea is will be up against Arsenal in the FA Cup on Saturday at the Emirate Stadium after securing their top-four spot at the weekend.
The Blues still have to play Bayern Munich in the Champions last 16-second leg, but knocking out the German Champions will be a tough task after trailing 3-0.
Chelsea is willing to win a trophy this season, winning a trophy would be a massive feather in the cap of Frank Lampard.
Here is the injury update on N’Golo Kante, Willian and Mateo Kovacic ahead of the showdown against Arsenal.
Kante has not featured for Chelsea the way he would have like to this season due to injury, the French midfielder picked up a hamstring problem in the win over Watford on July 4, and he hasn’t featured since for the Blues.
The 29-year-old was back to training before the clash against Wolves and that is a good sign that he would be available for the clash against Arsenal.
Willian’s future is yet to be settled at the Stamford Bridge, the Brazilian attacker is out a contract with the Blues However, Willian is still a massively important figure for Lampard, and he will be crucial for the FA Cup final.
Willian missed the Wolves match but has posted videos on social media of his recovery, but it is expected to be touch and go for the game.
Kovacic is one of the most important players in the Frank Lampard’s team but he has also struggled to get regular playing time but once he is fit he will be given the nod to play.
He was impressive as usual against Wolves but had an ice pack strapped to his leg after the game.
Lampard will hope that the Croatian star is fit for the Saturday clash against Arsenal, though he back to training on Tuesday ahead of Chelsea remaining fixtures.
