(Reuters) - Chelsea will not change their approach to matches in the absence of midfielder N'Golo Kante through injury, manager Thomas Tuchel said on Friday after confirming that the France international was still more than four weeks away from a return.

Kante went to ground with a muscle injury in Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League and Tuchel had said he was not optimistic about the World Cup-winner's availability in the coming weeks.
