N'Golo Kante has departed France's squad after picking up a knee injury ahead of France's final game of the international schedule against Croatia. The 31-year-old suffers from knee pain and has not featured in his nation's previous two matches.
Kante completed 90 minutes in France's opening Nations League defeat to Denmark but has been missing from the squad for draws against Croatia and Austria. Didier Deschamp's side face Croatia once again on Monday but will do so with Kante and Lucas Hernandez.
A statement from the French Football Federation read: "Embarrassed by knee pain, N'Golo Kanté (our photo) left the rally this Saturday morning. The Chelsea midfielder would not have been able to play Monday against Croatia at the Stade de France."
