(Reuters) - N'Golo Kante has started only 25 of Thomas Tuchel's 53 games as Chelsea boss, but the Chelsea manager insisted that the 30-year-old midfielder was not slowing down with age, calling him "superman".

Kante has already missed games due to COVID-19 and a groin injury this season and has failed to feature in Chelsea's squad since injuring his knee in a 4-0 win over Juventus in the Champions League in November.
