Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has confirmed that N’Golo Kante remains a doubt for the Europa League final against Arsenal on Wednesday evening.
The French midfielder twisted his knee in training on Saturday and was then declared a major doubt for the showpiece in Baku.

It is 50/50 whether Kante will feature in the Europa League final
Speaking to the media on Tuesday, Sarri said: “He had a little problem in his knee. It’s not a serious injury but the problem is the timing because we have only four days to recover. We are trying.”
Kante had been on course to make a full recovery from a hamstring injury which kept him out of the semi-final second leg against Eintracht Frankfurt and the Blues’ final match of the Premier League season against Leicester.
The World Cup winner picked up the blow in Chelsea’s 3-0 victory over Watford earlier this month, limping off the field at Stamford Bridge after just ten minutes of action.
The setback means Sarri will likely have to field a midfield trio of Mateo Kovacic, Jorginho and Ross Barkley in the final.
The Blues left for Baku on Monday and Sarri is already without three key members of his squad.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Antonio Rudiger have already been ruled out for the final.
