Good news for Potter: Chelsea's Kante at his disposal

Chelsea beat Leeds United 1-0 in the Premier League to return to winning ways after six games without a victory in all competitions.

The Blues will face a new challenge as they will play against Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie. The English side will have to come back from 1-0 down in the first leg.

Chelsea boss Graham Potter is ready for this crucial game and could be counting on one of the best signings in the squad: N'Golo Kante.

"He’s had two full training sessions, so too soon, but he’s looking good. We’re going to continue with that progress. It’s a complex one with him. He’s had a long time out. There’s back in full training but then it’s how you get him back up to speed to play Champions League and Premier League football.

"That’s where he needs a bit of time with the group in full training, and then we need to build his minutes up. He won’t be able to go straight in for 90 minutes any time soon, but the fact he’s training and getting closer is exciting for everybody," Potter added.
