Frank Lampard 'to hold more talks with N'Golo Kante as Chelsea manager looks to ease concerns over returning to training... but they will not put any pressure on the midfielder to return'

Frank Lampard will reportedly hold more talks with midfielder N’Golo Kante after Premier League clubs voted to move to phase two of restricted contact training on Wednesday.

The Blues granted the midfielder compassionate leave to miss phase one of non-contact training training last week, due to concerns he has regarding the safety of a return to playing during the coronavirus crisis.

Kante was present at the club's training ground for day one of phase one training testing but is now remaining at home, where Chelsea will let him stay away from the team until he wants to return.
