Kante Injured On France Duty  (Sky Sports)

Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante suffered a hamstring injury in France's World Cup Qualifier against Bulgaria.

Kante lined up in central midfield for the game in Sofia but was replaced by Adrien Rabiot after only 33 minutes.

Chelsea are already without transfer deadline day signing Danny Drinkwater with a calf injury, further limiting manager Antonio Conte's midfield options.

Following the current international break, the Blues play Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
