The longest injured at Chelsea is Kante and until now he has not recovered from injury. However, after the competition started 2 weeks ago, now their list of injured players is increasing and this is indeed the fate that Chelsea must accept. Graham potter doesn't have many options on the other hand he has also been hunting for new targets to fill the void in Chelsea players due to numerous injuries. I hope Chelsea don't drop further than 10th place, it will make them even more tired and mentally wrecked.
kante is lucky enough, even though he is old and still recovering from his hamstring, there is a team that wants him that is barcelona. if chelsea loses kante then I doubt chelsea will finish in the top 5 this season. so far newcastle's performance is much better than chelsea.
But even though Barcelona are interested in Kante, it is only an option and it seems Barcelona are also targeting other players like Wolves one Ruben Neves to replace Sergio Bosquets if he wants to leave Barcelona or retire. And I think there is no other reason for Kante if he wants to leave Chelsea because his role is still very important and for now there is no one who can replace him at Chelsea even though he is still injured.
Graham Potter is facing difficult moment In His Career as coach, almost all his best players are injured. Is really affecting Chelsea's performance if care not taken they might not even end at Europa line.
Kante, has been on injury for a long time,am scared if Barcelona will still sign him when he returns from injury. Barcelona is also facing their own problem, signing Kante will not change anything in the Barcelona Squad, he's old and not fit right now. Barcelona is looking for players that solve their immediate problem and not long-term problem.
I think Ruben Neves of Wolverhampton is that player that can solve Barcelona immediate midfield problem not Kante.
Ruben Neves is one of my favourite midfielder I. English premier league, and if Barcelona can get him, thy will be proud to have such a talented midfielder.
