Chelsea boosted by return of three stars including N’Golo Kante ahead of Champions League clash against Lille

Chelsea have been handed a huge injury boost ahead of their Champions League trip to Lille on Wednesday. The Blues welcomed back N’Golo Kante, Olivier Giroud and Kourt Zouma from injury as they headed out for training at Cobham. Kante and the other two stars have all missed recent games. Frank Lampard will be delighted they are back in contention as he looks to bolster after 1-0 defeat to Valencia in the Champions League opener. The boss said: “Yes, it's an awareness. I didn't want to take the risk. I spoke to N'Golo about it, he's so important for us - we know that - but he's had a difficult pre-season. It's been difficult for us but mainly for him to get going because of the break up of his pre-season as his injury carried over from last year, so it wasn't right to risk it today. He could have a chance for Lille."
