Kante has suffered an injury-ridden campaign this far but the midfielder has finally returned to the pitches at Cobham, albeit training alone. Now, ahead of the tie with Liverpool, he featured in first-team training again. He was replaced by Cesar Azpilicueta in the final 10 minutes of action. However, his left-footed effort was fired into the side-netting in a contest of few big chances.
