The French national football team’s second consecutive World Cup victory was overshadowed by dark clouds. Key midfielders Paul Pogba (Juventus) and N’Golo Kante (Chelsea), who led the championship in 2018, were out of the squad due to injuries in a row.
According to the British media The Athletic report on the 15th (Korean time), it will take at least three months for Kante to come back due to a hamstring injury. According to this report, Kante was practically frustrated from participating in the World Cup.
Kante recently returned from a hamstring injury in August, but has been receiving additional treatment as the area continues to fail.
Kante’s injury is also an emergency for the French national football team, which is aiming for a second consecutive World Cup victory. France is in Group D, which has a formidable strength such as Australia, Denmark and Tunisia in the Qatar World Cup.
In a situation where Pogba, who played the leading role of winning the last tournament, was already in doubt due to an injury, Kante, who supported him and took charge of the midfield, was virtually confirmed to leave, making power loss inevitable.
