Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has confirmed N'Golo Kante will be available to face Ajax this week.

Kante has made just six appearances for Chelsea this season and has missed their last five games after picking up a groin injury.

"He's in the squad, so he's fit," Lampard said on Monday.

"It looks nicely like the injuries and the few niggles that he was getting have cleared up and we've been able to get some work into him.

"It's always a little bit stop-start before that, so yeah, he's in the squad and available."
