N'golo Kante to miss World Cup over hamstring injury

France and Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante has been ruled out of the World Cup after undergoing an operation on his hamstring which will see him sidelined for four months.

The French midfielder, 31, suffered the injury in Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham back on August 14 and had been building his way back to full fitness in the time since.

He was dealt a huge setback after aggravating the injury during a training session last week and has since had surgery.

A Chelsea statement said: ‘N’Golo Kante has undergone an operation on his hamstring injury.

 

‘The midfielder visited a specialist with the club’s medical department to explore the options for his rehabilitation approach and it was mutually agreed for N’Golo to have surgery to repair the damage.

 

‘Following a successful operation, N’Golo is now expected to be sidelined for four months.’

 

 

The decision to have surgery came after Chelsea boss Graham Potter, who has been unable to call upon Kante since taking charge at Stamford Bridge, admitted last week there were long-term concerns over the midfielder’s fitness record having missed 57 games since the 2019 Europa League final.

‘Historically, there are things which have happened which are a concern, and we need to get the bottom of that,’ Potter said.

 

‘It’s a setback in the last stage of his rehab, so again that’s worrying. But all we can do is get the right diagnosis, the right consultation, and then try and help him get back to full fitness and enjoying his football.’

 

Kante, whose Chelsea contract expires next summer, has 53 caps for France and was part of their World Cup-winning squad in 2018.
