The statement confirms that Kante will be out of action for around four months and will miss the World Cup with France as a result.
Offering Kante a new contract would pose a huge risk for Chelsea as he is starting to pick up regular injuries and could struggle to get back to full fitness after surgery.
However, losing such a valuable player on a free transfer in the summer would not be ideal for Chelsea, so a short-term deal could be the answer if Kante is willing to agree to sign the contract.
