N’Golo Kanté continues his matches in Saudi Arabia, turning his back on his physical problems. His return to the French team is a possibility.
We have to go back to March 6, 2022, and a defeat in the Nations League against Denmark (1-2), to find any trace of N’Golo Kanté in the French team. Considered essential for the Blues as well as for Chelsea, where he played at the time, the midfielder was weighed down by injuries which kept him away from the national team, depriving him of the World Cup in Qatar. But all this must now be combined with the past. The former Caen player indeed bounced back in Saudi Arabia during the last transfer window, Kanté having signed for the Al-Ittihad club, where he now rubs shoulders with Karim Benzema and Fabinho, to name a few. The Saudi Pro League being broadcast in France by Canal+, the convincing performances of the 32-year-old player escape no one, and especially not Didier Deschamps. So, less than a year before Euro 2024, the idea of N’Golo Kanté returning to the France team is in the air.
Kanté will not return to make up the number
However, the French coach is more of the pragmatic type, and according to L’Equipe, he still asks questions about the interest in bringing back the man who had largely contributed to the title of World Champion won in 2018. For Hugo Delom, journalist from L’Equipe, the return of number 7 of Al-Ittihad to Clairefontaine can only be considered in one scenario, that a ” manager in the midfield gets injured. » Didier Deschamps does not want to bring back N’Golo Kanté just to place him on the bench, and above all, he always wants to give experience with France to players like Aurélien Tchouaméni or Eduardo Camavinga. And how to do it if Kanté is in the group. The Blues coach will have to answer this question fairly quickly since Euro 2024 in Germany is now in the crosshairs. On the midfield side, we work and we don’t demand anything.

N’Golo Kanté, who is not in very regular contact with Didier Deschamps, is not the type to push for a place in the French group. But in the entourage of the 32-year-old player, who has never announced his international retirement, unlike other French players, we admit that all hope is not lost of finding the French team to go play the Euro next year in Germany. “ Do you have the image of a man who causes problems in a locker room? All he needs is the Euro to complete the loop. It would be fabulous to end with this title », admits someone close to Kanté in the sports daily. He has a few months left to make this dream come true.
