Chelsea boss Frank Lampard says he's trying to bring N'Golo Kante to full fitness after their 4-1 defeat of Sheffield United.

Kante has had a disrupted start to the season.

And Lampard explained, "I have made big steps to try and manage his training and games, and making sure we attempt to keep him as fit and ready for games as we can. He's shown in the last couple of games he's played he is N'Golo Kante. His attributes are incredible, he can play various positions in midfield, he has energy, the ability to win the ball back but also his ability on the ball.

"That is sometimes underrated.

"People always want to talk about him being the defensive midfielder around and he should be in a deeper role, but he can do lots of different roles with massive effect. I'm pleased he is fit now and we will keep managing that."
