Chelsea have received a Europa League final boost with N'Golo Kante's injury not as serious as first thought.

Kante picked up a knock in training on Saturday and looked set to miss the Baku showdown.

But the London Evening Standard reports scans show his injury is not as bad as first feared and there is an outside chance Kante could have some part to play.

French World Cup winner Kante, 28, travelled with the rest of the Chelsea squad to Azerbaijan yesterday.

While he could be available, boss Maurizio Sarri may have to leave him out of his starting XI.

Even a substitute appearance could be too big a risk.
