A first-team player will not be participating in the FIFA World Cup 2022, which will begin on November 20 in Qatar, according to premier league powerhouse Chelsea FC, who published an official statement on Tuesday, October 18, 2022.
N’Golo Kante, a star for France at the international level, has been officially ruled out of the 2022 World Cup after undergoing surgery for a hamstring injury that would prevent him from playing football for a total of four months.
N’Golo Kante’s health had been a huge issue for Chelsea since he was injured in the second Premier League match of the season against Tottenham, where he staggered off before the game was through.
This is a major setback for France as well, as N’Golo was a crucial member of the team that won the 2018 World Cup.
