On the evening of October 14, Beijing time, French "Team News" and other media published an article saying that French international Kanter will miss the Qatar World Cup, which will be kicked next month due to injury.
In August this year, Kanter suffered a hamstring injury in the second round of the Premier League round of the season with Chelsea against Tottenham Hotspur. At that time, it was generally believed that he could catch up with the World Cup that kicked off in late November. Although he has participated in Chelsea's group training since then, he injured his hamstring again during a recovery training approaching his return. According to media reports, Kanter needs to rest for another 3 months before returning to the court.

Kante, who plays as a midfielder, is 31 years old this year. He is the kind of player who "decides the game without scoring goals." Whether in the club or the national team, Kante, who is not tall but has super physical fitness, can run all over the field and do "dirty and tiring" such as repairing defense for the team at any time. For this reason, every coach who has coached Kanter appreciates him very much, and fans have created many "memes" for him, such as Chinese fans who have reported that he has excellent defense "there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome, only Kanter that cannot be overcome".
Kante missed the World Cup, which was a huge blow to the French team, causing the last champion's midfielder to lose a reliable barrier. French media analysis said that Deschamps will reuse the defensive midfielder Chu Améni, who joined Real Madrid this summer. In addition, the last French team's hero of the championship, Juventus midfielder Pogba , still did not fully recover after undergoing meniscus surgery in September, and whether it can catch up with the World Cup is also a question mark.
