Tuchel: Kante will play against Spurs

Thomas Tuchel has confirmed N’Golo Kante is in “full shape” and “ready to play” against Tottenham after recovering from injury.

The Chelsea star has been out with an ankle injury since being forced off injured against Liverpool on 28 August.

The 30-year-old missed the Premier League victory over Aston Villa last weekend and the midweek Champions League win over Zenit Saint Petersburg.

Tuchel has now confirmed Kante is primed to return on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

But Christian Pulisic is still unavailable, despite the American returning to individual training after overcoming his ankle injury.

“No fresh concerns,” Tuchel said at his pre-match press conference. “Christian [Pulisic] is in individual training and will not be in the squad.

“N’Golo is back in full shape in training and ready to play.”
