Kante unlikely to play in final after twisting knee

LONDON • Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante is a major doubt for tomorrow's Europa League final against Arsenal in Baku, Azerbaijan after suffering a knee injury in training over the weekend, according to British media reports.

The France international missed Chelsea's previous two games with a hamstring injury, but returned to training last week and manager Maurizio Sarri was confident he would be fit for the club's season-ending showpiece.

However, both The Times of London and the Guardian reported he had twisted his knee during a training session on Saturday and was not likely to recover in time for the final.
