COVID-19: Chelsea goalkeeper reveals why Kante has refused to return to training

Chelsea goalkeeper, Willy Caballero has revealed that N'golo Kante tested negative for COVID-19.

Kante has been reluctant to return to the Chelsea training ground since spending time in isolation after testing negative for the virus.

According to Caballero, the French international had a bad time in quarantine where he showed symptoms of the virus.

“N’Golo Kante tested negative for COVID-19, but he had a bad time of it during quarantine with symptoms of the virus that gave him that fear", Caballero told TNT Sports,

“We respect him, and we will wait until he feels comfortable because the truth is that to do what we’re doing, you have to feel okay and feel confident, and after we start again, we have to all go forward together.

“N’Golo is a very humble and hard-working person who is always smiling, and he must have his reasons to lift his hand and say what he’s said.

“We did a lot of Zoom meetings with Frank Lampard and the other players, and he said he didn’t feel safe going back to training because of the way he had felt over the last few weeks.

“We know he’s someone who loves training and running and is incapable of lying about something like this. We support him, and we respect him.”
