Having Kante back in action will be a big boost for manager Maurizio Sarri and his team. The 28-year-old has barely missed a game this campaign, but after coming off injured in the 3-0 win over Watford earlier this month, there were fears he wouldn’t play again this season.
He missed the second leg of the Europa League semi-final against Frankfurt, as well as the final day draw versus Leicester City.
However, as there is a decent gap between the match against the Foxes and the final in Baku, it seems Kante now has a very good chance of starting the match.
