No chance: France’s N’Golo Kanté misses the World Cup in Qatar
N’Golo Kante
N’Golo Kanté will not be able to take part in the World Cup in Qatar with France after his rehabilitation setback.
It has been suspected since his renewed injury at Chelsea, but now there is certainty: N’Golo Kanté will miss the 2022 World Cup. A very big blow for Les Bleus and Didier Deschamps. The Blues midfielder has not played since August this year.
N’Golo Kanté, who played a crucial role in France’s national team winning the title in 2018, will not fight for the trophy with France at the 2022 World Cup. This is reported by the French sports newspaper L’Equipe.
Accordingly, Kanté suffered one last week setback in rehab, preventing him from returning in time for the tournament. A big blow for Didier Deschamps as N’Golo Kanté is indispensable when he is at his best.
This is the second midfield absence as Boubacar Kamara is also injured. The use of Paul Pogba is still very uncertain. The midfielder has not returned to action this season.
Deschamps will now have to find solutions to make the midfield of the Équipe Tricolore one of his strengths again, as was the case four years ago. Real Madrid couple Aurélien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga could now secure a place in the starting XI for the French side in Qatar.
