Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante fainted and lost consciousness in front of 'shocked' team-mates, report claims

Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante apparently fainted and lost consciousness at the club's Cobham training ground on Friday

.According to the Daily Telegraph, Chelsea players were shocked and terrified when he briefly passed out in front of them after training.

It claimed the Blues stars feared their team-mate had suffered a heart problem, but a series of cardiology tests on the France international all came back clear.

The episode meant Kante – who won the FWA and PFA Player of the Year awards last season – missed Sunday’s clash with Premier League leaders Manchester City, and he was sorely missed as the Blues lost 1-0.
