N’Golo Kanté was injured and was discharged from the French team, the federation said in a note published Thursday.
The 29-year-old midfielder will not be an option for the next two games for the world champion team, Sunday against Kazakhstan and three days later in Bosnia and Herzegovina following a “small bruise on his left thigh”.
The stoppage time for the Chelsea player, FC Porto’s opponent in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, whose games are scheduled for April 7 and 13, is not yet known.
After undergoing a clinical and radiological examination, Kanté was allowed to leave the concentration of the Gallic selection, which will not call any substitute.
