With the World Cup about to begin, the major teams have also begun the final personnel selection and preparation. The favourites France have also suffered a blow, and Chelsea have officially announced that the core of the team, N'Golo Kante is about to undergo surgery, and this injury will allow him to recuperate for four months. N'Golo Kante will miss out on the World Cup and the player himself has agreed to undergo surgery.
This means that Kante himself chose to undergo surgery rather than conservative treatment and then take the injury to the World Cup. After all, this is his contract year, and Kante doesn't want to risk injury to the World Cup, getting the last big contract of his career is what he needs most. Chelsea were reluctant to offer Kante a long-term contract, and this injury has affected N'Golo Kante's contract extension. For the French team, the impact of another injury before the World Cup is also considerable.
As a core player in the 2018 World Cup, N'Golo Kante's defensive prowess is also evident. His leadership on the pitch is also very suitable for the personnel organization of the French team's central backfield, and the strength of the French team without Kante will also be significantly reduced in this World Cup. And this is definitely bad news for Mbappe, who has announced in a high-profile manner before the World Cup that European football is better than South American football, and he also wants to lead the French team to defend the World Cup title, it can be said that President Mbappe is very much looking forward to this year's World Cup.
If he can defend his title, his chances of winning the Ballon d'Or next year will be very high, and France will be the second best team in the official World Cup ranking. After back-to-back losses to Pogba and N'Golo Kante, striker Griezmann has slipped off a cliff and Benzema has only just returned from injury this season. President Mu's road to defending the title and becoming a god is really difficult.
