N'Golo Kante is set to miss France's defence of the World Cup after the midfielder suffered a recurrence of his hamstring issue.
He sustained the problem during training and is due to be sidelined for three months. Kante has been be missing since he picked up an injury in Chelsea 's draw with Tottenham back in August, although he had since made a return to training. The Frenchman has now aggravated his problem and is set for an extended period out.
The Athletic has claimed that there is no chance Kante will recover in time for France's campaign in Qatar, which will come as a blow given his importance to their success four years ago.
