Frank Lampard slams France coach Didier Deschamps for not allowing N'Golo Kante to return from international duty

Frank Lampard has hit out at France head coach Didier Deschamps for not allowing N'Golo Kante to return to Chelsea after the midfielder picked up a groin issue. The 28-year-old suffered the injury while warming up for France's Euro 2020 qualifier with Iceland but stayed with the France squad for the rest of the international break. “We all have our selection problems, but the Kante one was not a laughing matter. We communicated before the first international break. It was clear that he wasn’t fit to play the second game and he sat on the bench. I think it could have been handled better. I understand that when a player is on international duty that they are their players, but it was clear that he wasn’t fit,” Lampard told reporters.
