N'Golo Kante in Chelsea squad for FA Cup final

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard says N'Golo Kante is in his squad for the FA Cup final against Arsenal.

Chelsea will monitor Kante's fitness before Lampard makes a final decision on his team, with winger Willian also set to return in time for the clash.

The Brazilian had been in the Chelsea starting line-up for every game since the Premier League restart but was absent for their final game against Wolves, with Mason Mount starting in his place.

"Yes, Kante and Willian are in the squad and we will see if they are fit enough to be involved," Lampard said in a news conference via video link.

Lampard will be forced to do without attacking midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who has been ruled out after picking up a knock in training.
