'We are in trouble with the midfielders' - Sarri says Kante is '50-50' for Europa League final

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has said that midfielder u200bN'Golo Kante is only '50-50' to play in Wednesday's Europa League final against Arsenal due to a knee injury.

The French star will be given every chance to prove his fitness, but the game in Baku may come too soon as the Blues deal with several injuries in midfield.

Sarri has said that the injury, which was suffered in training on Saturday, is not serious, but the 28-year-old still may be forced out of the match at the Olympic Stadium in Azerbaijan's capital.
