But after he was substituted in the second half of Saturday’s defeat to Manchester City, it has now emerged that he will be sidelined for Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Juventus and the upcoming Premier League fixture with Southampton with an illness.

This could mean another appearance for Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who came off the bench to replace Kanté against City.
