Kante decides against training over health safety

Chelsea midfielder, N’Golo Kante, was given permission by the club to miss training on Wednesday.

According to Sky Sports, the France international expressed safety concerns over a return amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

He was present at Cobham on Tuesday, on the first day Premier League clubs were allowed to resume small group sessions.

However, the 29-year-old decided against training on Wednesday.

He  lost his older brother to a heart attack just weeks before the 2018 World Cup and a few months earlier, the player himself fainted in training before being given a clean bill of health.
