N’Golo Kante has trained with Chelsea as per normal today ahead of tomorrow’s Champions League tie with Lille.
Goal.com reporter Nizaar Kinsella is at the open training session ahead of the press conference later, and he was the first to put the news out there that the French midfielder appears to be at full strength again.

*he trained all last week but still missed this weekend's game. More from Lampard later on his status as he recovers from a minor hamstring complaint.

Kante played well against Liverpool two weeks ago before being rested for both matches last week. He trained normally however, and it seems like we’re just being extra cautious with him at the moment.
Whether he will be thrown into action tomorrow night or saved for a later date isn’t certain yet, but we’re sure Frank will be asked about it in this afternoon’s presser.
Lille away is a tough test, and we really need a win to stay in touch in this Champions League group. On the other hand recent weeks have made it abundantly clear that Frank Lampard isn’t going to risk his best player unless absolutely necessary.
