Chelsea boss Lampard admits Kante out of Liverpool clash

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard admits N'Golo Kante is out of their clash with Liverpool.

Lampard confirmed the midfielder, who suffered a hamstring injury in their win over Watford on July 4, is still sidelined.

Kante has missed three Premier League fixtures against Crystal Palace, Sheffield United and Norwich City plus Sunday's FA Cup semi-final win over Manchester United.

And he won't feature at Anfield either as Liverpool prepare to receive the Premier League trophy post-match.

Chelsea's midfield of Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic was highly effective against United at Wembley and Lampard will be tempted to continue with a similar 3-4-3 configuration against a Liverpool side who have slacked off a little since they secure the title.
