Chelsea boss Graham Potter is excited by the prospect of fielding N'Golo Kante.

Kante is recovered from hamstring surgery and could see action today against Aston Villa.

"Because the player has been out for so long, it's not so easy to anticipate when he'll be back because you need to be careful with him," Potter emphasised.

"It's hard to really know when he can play again but we've done really well with him and he's worked so hard that he's back in a good place, in good condition.

"We all know how good he is, he is a top, top player. He can help any team and for sure he can help us.

"We have a lot of games coming up. N'Golo can't play every single minute in all of them but he can certainly help us in some and that's fantastic for us."
