Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante has had an operation on his hamstring injury and will now be out for four months – meaning the France international will miss his country’s title defence at the World Cup.
“The midfielder visited a specialist with the club’s medical department to explore the options for his rehabilitation approach and it was mutually agreed for N’Golo to have surgery to repair the damage,” said a Chelsea statement.
Kante, 31, hasn’t played for Chelsea since their 2-2 draw with Tottenham in August.
