Kante hails Chelsea medical staff after making EL final

N'Golo Kante says Chelsea's medical staff worked wonders to make sure he was fit for the Europa League final.

Manager Maurizio Sarri declared Kante's chances '50-50' of making the clash against Arsenal in Baku.

The World Cup winner started in the 4-1 victory and reserved praise for the club's medical staff for their work.

"I was a bit worried because I twisted my knee on Saturday," Kante said.

"The staff did an amazing job to be ready for the final. I was ready to play and am happy for the team."
