Three Chelsea players N’Golo kante, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Kurt Zouma are France internationals but all three have had three different fates ahead of this summer’s World Cup in Russia.
France boss Didier Deschamps has named his 23-man squad for this summer’s World Cup and has made a number of big calls, omitting both Manchester United star Anthony Martial and Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette.
N’Golo Kante and Olivier Giroud are the only Chelsea players in the 23-man squad, while Bakayoko wasn’t even considered and Zouma is on the stand-by list.
See the France 23-man squad below:
Goalkeepers: Areola, Lloris, Mandanda
Defenders: Hernandez, Kimpembe, Mendy, Pavard, Rami, Sidibe, Umtiti, Varane
Midfielders: Kante, Matuidi, Nzonzi, Pogba, Tolisso
Forwards: Dembele, Fekir, Giroud, Griezmann, Lemar, Mbappe, Thauvin
