N'Golo Kante was replaced by Mason Mount early in the game against Manchester UnitedChelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante is likely to be out for up to three weeks with an adductor injury, says boss Frank Lampard. The France World Cup winner suffered the injury during the 2-0 home defeat by Manchester United last Monday. His absence is a setback for Chelsea, who have six league and cup games in the next three weeks. Chelsea, who are fourth in the Premier League but without a win in four top-flight games, entertain fifth-placed Tottenham in a London derby on Saturday (12:30 GMT). Kante, a Premier League winner with Leicester City in 2016 and Chelsea in 2017, has had several injury problems this season and has started 16 of his team's 26 league games.
