Antonio Conte has said he must plan for the next month without N'Golo Kante after the midfielder sustained a hamstring injury while on international duty with France,
meaning Chelsea may have to improvise in a key area during one of the
season's most
hectic spells.
Our next clash is a Europa League trip to Dnipro on 20 February,
meaning the squad has a week to recover from a rather
hectic early 2014 period before that dreaded business end of the
season begins.
