<\/p>\nThe injury has ruled out the French midfielder for the next two games.<\/p>\n
Kante limped off inside 10 minutes of the game.<\/p>\n
The Italian manager confirmed the injury will keep Kante out for Chelsea\u2019s games against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday in the Europa League and Leicester City on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Sarri said he made a mistake starting the World Cup winner just three days after their 1-1 draw in the first-leg in Frankfurt.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has a problem with his hamstring, but I think I made a mistake, he should have rested today,\u201d he told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes it\u2019s difficult to put someone on the bench so important like Eden Hazard or Kante \u2013 it\u2019s a risk.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will wait for the morning, it\u2019s very difficult to recover for the next two matches. We have to recover him for the final.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sarri also put his side\u2019s poor performance down to tiredness following their short turnaround in the Europa League.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think in the first half we were tired, mentally. We were in trouble. Then they lowered their intensity.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were lucky to score after two minutes \u2013 we improved mentally after first goal.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe played very well for 35 minutes then. It\u2019s not easy to play after 60 hours. After Europa League away games we\u2019ve only won one match.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you are not brilliant physically you have to move the ball, the ball isn\u2019t tired, the man is tried. In the second half we did it better as something changed in our minds,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
