Chelsea hero Claude Makelele has burnout concerns for N'Golo Kante.
Makelele believes that the 26-year-old will have to find a way to conserve his energy this term or run the risk of burning out due to the demands of playing in the Premier League, Champions League, League Cup and FA Cup.
"He is a good player. It is difficult to find some who loves running for everything like him," Makelele told Goal. "He plays for his partners. He is unbelievable.
"He is also clever and very serious. Around him, he has good people to help him to be a great player."
But Makelele warned: "It might be difficult for him when he gets older. He can't run like that for 90 minutes. I think he will one day need to change the way he plays. He could use his intelligence even more, be selective about his runs.
"If you want to play every four days in the Premier League, FA Cup and the Champions League, he might need to change he much he runs a little.
"It is important for him to understand to conserve his energy."
