France international is expected to be out of action until November.

Danny Drinkwater also remains on the sidelines for the visit to Crystal Palace on Saturday 14 October and Alvaro Morata could be back for the Champions League visit of Roma on Wednesday night.

However, N’Golo Kante will be out of action and Conte seems to have a back up plan.

Antonio Conte has revealed that Chelsea starlets Kyle Scott and Ethan Ampadu could be given a chance to impress after confirming that N’Golo Kante is likely to be on the sidelines for around three weeks.

Conte says that the Kante needs to undergo a second scan to address the issue but initial tests suggests that he will be out for the remainder of October.

“[From] the previous scan maybe [Kante will be out for] around 20, 25 days, but in this situation you must pay great attention. For this reason, we are going to do another scan after one week to understand the situation very well, and see if this scan is better than the scan before,” the Chelsea boss said in the press conference ahead of the visit to Cristal Palace on Saturday.

“We are going to do a scan next week to check his situation to see if he is improving. For sure it is a muscular problem, a hamstring problem. This is a big loss for us. You know very well the importance of N’Golo Kante in our team. We don’t have another player with the same characteristics.”
