N’Golo Kanté’s fitness more important than contract, says Graham Potter

theguardian.com

Graham Potter has said his focus is on getting N’Golo Kanté fit rather than whether Chelsea should extend the midfielder’s contract before it expires next summer.

Kanté, who has been out with a hamstring problem since August, has struggled with injuries during the last three years and his fitness problems are likely to be a factor during talks over a new deal.

Thomas Tuchel, Potter’s predecessor at Chelsea, said last month that the Frenchman’s issues could force him to accept a contract on reduced terms.

Yet Potter, who indicated that Kanté will be unavailable when Chelsea look to kickstart their Champions League campaign against Milan at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night, is not thinking about the 31-year-old’s future.
