N’Golo Kanté maintains every chance of appearing in Didier Deschamps’ list for the 2026 World Cup. The midfielder of the France team would even be well placed in the coach’s hierarchy, ahead of profiles like Eduardo Camavinga. He could thus be selected among the circles called up for the World Cup, alongside Aurélien Tchouaméni, Warren Zaire-Emery, Adrien Rabiot and Manu Koné, in a particularly competitive sector.
Consultant for Téléfoot and coach of the Girondins de Bordeaux, Rio Mavuba, for his part, sent a clear message to Didier Deschamps concerning the 2018 World Champion. He declared: “When you have a World Champion N’Golo Kanté who agrees to be on the bench, I think that all those behind don’t have a say. You have to accept everyone’s roles, that’s what gives a group the strength to go far in a major competition. Kanté is exemplary. It has to be on this list. » A strong position taken in favor of the French environment, always perceived as a separate element in the French group.
