Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has allayed fears over the long-term health of N'Golo Kante and insisted the France midfielder is "fine".
Kante passed out after a training session in the build-up to Sunday's 1-0 defeat at Manchester City, prompting speculation the former Leicester City man could have a previously hidden issue.
But Conte, speaking ahead of Saturday's home clash with Crystal Palace, is adamant the 26-year-old is fit and in contention to face Roy Hodgson's Premier League strugglers.
He said: "N'Golo is fine, he trained the whole week. He's in good form, yeah he's fine."
Asked to explain what happened, the former Juventus boss added: "On Friday it was very cold and after the training session he passed out briefly in the dressing room.
