N’Golo Kante was allowed to miss the second day of Chelsea’s return to training due to safety concerns amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Premier League teams have been returning to training in small groups this week, with Kante present at Cobham on Tuesday for Chelsea's first session after testing negative for coronavirus. However, the French midfielder missed Wednesday's session with the full backing of the club and manager Frank Lampard.
It is reported that Kante has lingering health concerns linked to coronavirus and the club will not pressure him to return until he is comfortable. The World Cup winner suffered a health scare in 2018 when he fainted in front of his team-mates at Chelsea’s training ground. He also lost his elder brother to a heart attack that same year.
