Thomas Tuchel has revealed that N’Golo Kante’s early exit against Liverpool on Saturday came due to the same ankle injury that kept him out of the Blues’ previous Premier League clash with Arsenal.
The France midfielder started against the Reds but was replaced at half-time, following a chaotic first-half that saw the 10-men Blues hold on for a 1-1 draw at Anfield.
A challenge from Sadio Mane felled Kante, forcing an early exit, and now Tuchel has confirmed that he was removed after aggravating an existing knock.
