Chelsea boss Frank Lampard says N'Golo Kante could be back for their Champions League tie with Lille.

Kante missed victory over Brighton yesterday with a hamstring strain.

Lampard said, "I spoke to N'Golo about it and I didn't want to take the risk.

"He's so important for us but it's been difficult for him to get going because of the break-up of his pre-season, with his injury carried over from last season. It wasn't right to risk it today but he could have a chance for Lille."
