He was expected to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, but his condition is said to have worsened as his injury recurred.
According to local media, it is highly likely that France will exclude Kante from its powers. As long as Kante is injured once more, recovery and rehabilitation are inevitable, and the possibility of recovering from the injury until the World Cup tournament is gone.
