A quick question lads.

If Kante is 50/ 50 fitness wise for the Villa game, would you take the risk and play him?

Remembering the Villa game is a must win game!

No he’s class but this game could have big ramifications not just on wuropean football but who we bring In so I’d play whos 100% got personally mate.

Even without the UCL game in mind, I think Kovacic and Jorginho together in midfield can handle Aston Villa quite easily so why risk a player that is 50% fit for a player that is 100% fit?
TomB, do you think that a 50% fit Kante is better than a 100% fit Kovacic or Jorginho? My answer is that a 100% fit Kovacic or Jorginho is better than a 50% fit Kante.
Besides, Chelsea have played bigger games this season without Kante and won.

I certainly wouldn't start him if only 50% fit, and would always have the intention of hoping he will be 100% ready for CL Final. But might just have him on the bench at Villa, keep them guessing at least!

No not at all if we don’t have Kante in the final against City we lose easily. Don’t risk him at all. Jorginho and Kova will have to do.

I wouldn't risk it. We have a big squad and he's such an immense player that he should be playing in the CL final. We should leave him out this weekend and make sure he's fit for the big one next weekend.

Maybe in the 2nd half if we need him or for match fitness purposes.

Agree absolutely, we shouldn’t risk Kante, if we can’t beat Villa with our squad we don’t deserve to be in top 4.
