Chelsea manager Graham Potter praised Kante as he discussed his possible return for the Blues’ Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid on April 12.
“Managers before me have spoken very highly of N’Golo Kante because he is a top, top player,” he said.
“He’s been a huge loss for us, but that’s not to say the other players haven’t given their all, because they have.” But N’Golo Kante is a top player.”
N’golo Kante, 31, looked sharp in his debut for the club’s development squad against Charlton, as the home side won 3-0 thanks to goals from Dion Rankine, Silko Thomas, and Malik Mothersille.
Thiago Silva and Mason Mount, who wore a Chelsea shirt with Kante’s name and number on the front, also supported the France international, who had been out for seven months.

Another person stated:
“Mason Mount and Thiago Silva are cheering him on from the stands. Class.”
