# Kante could miss six games through injury

Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante is set to miss the rest of October due to injury.

[According to The Telegraph,](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/10/11/chelsea-fear-ngolo-kante-could-miss-six-october-games-hamstring/) Chelsea are expecting Kante to be out for the rest of the month after picking up an injury on international duty.

The former [Leicester](https://readleicester.com/) man was substituted in the first-half of France’s World Cup qualifier against Bulgaria with a hamstring injury.

The report now claims that this could rule him of Chelsea’s next six games in all competitions.

Kante was superb last season as Chelsea won the [Premier League](https://readpl.com/), and has been a steady performer so far this campaign.

Conte now has both him and Danny Drinkwater unavailable for selection in midfield – the duo who won the [Premier League](https://readpl.com/) together with [Leicester](https://readleicester.com/).

Tiemoue Bakayoko and Cesc Fabregas could now be Conte’s preferred midfield duo.

Chelsea have already been dealt a big injury blow to their top goalscorer Alvaro Morata.

The club-record signing is set to miss the next month after suffering a muscle injury against [Manchester City](https://readmancity.com/) before the international break.
