The 30-year-old is now set for a further spell on the sidelines due to illness, according to Goal.<\/p>\n

Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel, has used Kante carefully since his return, limiting him to a 45-minute cameo against Tottenham and Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

He was also taken off after one hour, as the Blues lost 1-0 to Manchester City on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Tuchel will have to shuffle his pack against Juventus, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek pushing for a start following his impressive cameo against City.<\/p>\n
