N & # 39; Golo Kante is 50/50 for the Europa League final, Maurizio Sarri stating that his injury is not "serious"

Chelsea loses hope that N & # 39; Golo Kante is recovering from a knee injury in time for the Europa League final against Arsenal.

Kante received a knee injury at a training session on Saturday and during training on Tuesday night in Baku he spent most of the session alone with a fitness coach and is also returned to the tunnel before the rest of the group.

Kante joined his peers for a warm up before training, but then left the field in the middle of the session.

N & # 39; Golo Kante remains uncertain for the Europa League final against Arsenal on Wednesday

The good news on Tuesday is that he's trained on the field at the Baku Olympic Stadium.

His premature exit is probably a precaution but it seems unlikely that he is ready to play a European final of high intensity. Manager Maurizio Sarri has rated his chances at & # 39; 50 -50 & # 39; Tuesday night, but holds more bookings privately.

Sarri, who has not lost hope, said, "It's a very small problem in his knee. The problem is the timing because we only had four days. We are trying. This is not really a very serious injury. At the moment we do not know. We will try until the last moment.

& # 39; It is 50/50. Yesterday it was 60/40 for "no". He was a little better this morning.

Kante has 50/50 to play and Sarri insisted on Tuesday that "we try" to prepare him

Sarri would play Ross Barkley in his absence but admit that losing the defense instinct of his French midfielder would be a blow.

The Italian added: "We have problems with the midfielders. At the present time, we only have three midfielders for three positions, so we are in trouble.

N & # 39; Golo is really very important. He's the only defensive midfielder we have, so for us it's really very important. I hope to get it back because I know very well that without Golo, it is a problem for us. & # 39;
