DBasia.news – Chelsea is having a hard time winning again. Manager Thomas Tuchel admitted that one of the reasons was the absence of N’Golo Kante!
N’Golo Kante has been injured. He sprained his leg while playing in the match against Juventus on Wednesday (24/11) in the continued Champions League.
Furthermore, Kante was absent in four matches in the Premier League. As a result, Chelsea have difficulty winning.
The Blues only won two wins. The rest, one draw and one loss.
The victory that Chelsea won was also not easy. Most recently, Chelsea ‘needed’ two penalties to beat Leeds United 3-2 on Saturday (11/12) night WIB.
So far, Ruben Loftus-Cheek fills the central midfield position left by N’Golo Kante. However, it seems that the Chelsea academy player has not been able to be as strong as Kante who is able to explore the entire field.
Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel admits that he really misses the figure of N’Golo Kante on the field. For him, Kante is a differentiator.
“We are always worried when Kante is not on the pitch,” he said as quoted by the BBC.
“Because Kante is a great and unique player. In my opinion, there is no ‘second Kante’,” he continued.
“He has been out for several weeks. We hope that next Tuesday Kante will be able to train again,” concluded the man from Germany.
