N’Golo Kante is still missing from Chelsea due to an injury – his participation in the World Cup is also in doubt.
N’Golo Kante will be in a race against the clock to make it World Cup 2022 in Qatar to accomplish. After an injury-related setback, he only gets fit – if at all – shortly before the squad nomination.
Injury concerns at N’Golo Kante continue to mount. After he was often absent in the previous season, he is almost without any action in the current season. The Frenchman was only fit on the first two Premier League matchdays – since then Chelsea have had to do without their clearer.
The increasingly frequent and longer-lasting failures should not only have an impact on the negotiations of his expiring contract. This also jeopardizes his participation in the World Cup.
As L’Equipe reportedly, Kante will be sidelined for another two weeks after a setback, meaning he will also miss the Blues’ next five games. Should he be ready for action again at the expected time, the 31-year-old will not have much time to prove his fitness: Didier Deschamps will announce his World Cup squad on November 9th – Kante would previously play a maximum of two games for Chelsea can dispute.
There is of course no doubt about the sporting qualities of the sweeper, but Deschamps has already made it clear that he will only take fully fit players to Qatar.
