Chelsea manager, Maurizio Sarri, has confirmed that midfielder N’Golo Kante will miss the second leg of their Europa League semi-final fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday.
Kante faces a further two weeks out with a hamstring problem.
The France international left the field early, in the first half of last Sunday’s 3-0 Premier League win over Watford.
Chelsea, who drew the first leg 1-1, are hopeful the 28-year-old can feature if they reach the final of the competition on May 29.
“He had a problem with his hamstring. It is not very serious but he needs to rest for a couple of weeks.
“We can try to recover him for only the final match if we get there. I’m not sure if he can, but we can try,” Sarri told reporters on Wednesday.
