Liverpool have Fabinho ruled out of tomorrows FA Cup final with Chelsea, but the Londoners might have positive news regarding NGolo Kante.

Kante, like the Liverpool powerhouse, is massive for the Blues but having not played in May yet due to injury, Thomas Tuchel is sweating over the France internationals availability.

However, the German manager might have some bad news for the Reds fanbase.

Thats because Tuchel,as quoted by Liverpools official website today, has revealed that the influential player is back in training albeit a reduced session and that hes hopeful Kante will be able to make tomorrows final at Wembley.

He said: He tried yesterday in team training and trained more or less everything. Hopefully now without a reaction.

It was a reduced training session because of quite a long travel and fatigue of the travelling so it was not a high-intensity training session. We will also try today with him. He is keen to make it and hopefully he makes it to training 100 per cent, then we could plan with him for tomorrow [and that] would be crucial for us.

Theres no denying that Fabinho is a colossus for Liverpool but Kante is equally as important and Jurgen Klopp would be relieved in a professional way if the former Leicester City midfielder is absent, too.

It provides a sense of balance in midfield and the question will be, which of the two German coaches has the better depth?

For Liverpool, its likely to be a three of Jordan Henderson who will play the holding role Thiago Alcantara and Naby Keita.

You have to say, if youre a Chelsea fan thats a pretty stellar contingency plan to Fabinho being out.

Hopefully for the Stamford Bridge club, they can muster something just as powerful if Kante is unable to start.

For now, though, the 31-year-old seemingly has a good chance of making it and that, combined with Fabinhos woes, is certainly bad news for everyone associated with the Anfield outfit.
