Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante has returned to training ahead of Chelsea’s visit to Anfield on Saturday to take on Liverpool.

Kante returned to training on Thursday for the first time since suffering a serious hamstring injury in October, which ruled him out of the World Cup.

Kante has been a key fixture in the Chelsea team since his move from Leicester in 2016, winning the Premier League and Champions League in his time at Stamford Bridge.

His Chelsea contract expires at the end of the season and the France international is in talks with Chelsea over signing a new deal.
