Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has said midfielder N'Golo Kante will miss up to three weeks with a muscle injury but striker Tammy Abraham could return against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

Lampard's team have been hit with injuries to key players in recent weeks, and he offered an update on the duo in his pre-match press conference on Friday:

"N'Golo is not fit. He has got a muscle injury, similar to the one he came off recently against Arsenal with. Hopefully, he will be [back] in three weeks, something around that.
