The Blues lose two players the day after the draw in the League of Nations against Austria. Indeed, N’Golo Kanté and Lucas Hernandez, spared during the meeting in Vienna, have withdrawn for France-Croatia, which will take place on Monday and leave the gathering of the France team.
The Chelsea midfielder is “hindered by knee pain” and cannot hold his place against the vice world champions, while Hernandez, also hampered by muscle pain on Friday, leaves the rally for a completely different raison. The Munich defender will join his partner “who is waiting for a happy event”, as announced by the FFF in a press release.

Kanté had already missed the last two games of the Blues, his absence on the lawn being added to that of Paul Pogba, which allowed substitutes to express themselves, in Croatia (1-1) and in Austria, in particular the Monegasque Aurélien Tchouaméni and two Marseillais, Boubacar Kamara and Matteo Guendouzi.
In defence, the absence of Lucas Hernandez in Vienna on Friday, added to Raphaël Varane’s package and Didier Deschamps’ desire to spare Presnel Kimpembe, captain on Monday against Croatia, allowed Ibrahima Konaté to live his first selection in Blue, with William Saliba at his side, tenured for a second time in a row.
