Thomas Tuchel allays N'Golo Kante injury fears as he insists he has a 'good feeling' midfielder will be fit for Chelsea's last game of the Premier League season before Champions League final against Man City

Thomas Tuchel has played down fears N'Golo Kante will miss Chelsea's final two games of the season after going off injured in the 2-1 win against Leicester.

Goals from Antonio Rudiger and Jorginho were enough for the Blues to leapfrog the Foxes in the Premier League into third, despite Kelechi Iheanacho's late consolation.

But Chelsea fans were handed an injury scare in the first half when France midfielder Kante was replaced by Mateo Kovacic after being forced off with a problem.

However, speaking after the win, Tuchel suggested the substitution was a precautionary measure, and had a 'good feeling' the 30-year-old would be available for the final Premier League game of the campaign at Aston Villa before the Champions League final against Manchester City.
