Injury News: Star Chelsea trio could return for crucial FA cup showdown against Arsenal

N’Golo Kante and Willian among those could return to face Arsenal in the FA Cup final

Frank Lampard’s first season in charge of Chelsea has been a promising one that hints at much potential.

It could get even better when the Blues take on arch-rivals Arsenal in the FA Cup final this weekend. A win will not only bring Lampard’s first silverware as a manager but also put the cherry on top of what could be a pivotal season.

The best games require the best players. Lampard could be set to welcome back three stars who have been sidelined with injuries.

N’Golo Kante has endured an injury-hit season at Chelsea

French World Cup winner N’Golo Kante has endured a difficult season that has been constantly interrupted by injuries. One of Chelsea’s best players, he has missed the last six games due to a hamstring injury.

According to Football.london, the Frenchman is expected to be fit in time for the Wembley showdown. Kante was able to train ahead of the clash against Wanderers last Sunday. However, he did not feature. But he could be in line to do so this weekend.

The 29-year-old has won a trophy in all three seasons at the club. His return will be considered a good omen by the superstitious folk in the fanbase.

Willian is expected to be fit for the final

The report goes on to add that Brazilian midfielder Willian too is recovering well and could be set to feature.

The 31-year-old’s future may be up in the air, but his contributions to the team cannot be overlooked. A player who has a habit of scoring important goals, he could prove pivotal against Arsenal.

Willian’s contract at Chelsea is nearing an end. According to his agent, he will make a call on his future after the final.

Mateo Kovacic has enjoyed a brilliant season

Mateo Kovacic has grown to be a key player for the Blues this campaign. The Croatian’s performances have been crucial, especially in the absence of Kante.

Kovacic was exemplary in the win over Wolves. He was seen sporting an ice pack after the game but is back in training and expected to be fit.
