Ngolo Kanti, a French midfielder, and Rais James Sistasira, a back, are specialised in the next days to assess their chances of playing in the World Cup next month, according to Graham Potter, the coach of Chelsea.
Due to a knee injury, James, a defender for the England national team, was forced to miss Tuesday’s Champions League encounter between Chelsea and Milan in Italy. According to the English press, the 22-year-old is racing against time to be prepared for the World Cup.
Gareth Southgate’s recent first choice for the right-back centre position.
Potter stated on Friday: A weekend is planned.
There isn’t much I can offer until we obtain the details; otherwise, it will just be speculative.
We’ll wait and see, he added. Looking at a disastrous possibility is pointless unless we have the information; only then can we move forward.
Kanti has been away from games since August after suffering a setback after recovering from a thigh posterior injury. Kanti was one of the most notable members of the French national team that won the World Cup Russia 2018 title.
He is expected to meet with a weekend expert, Potter continued. It is a setback and not good news, but at this point I am powerless to offer you any additional assistance.
Since Kanti has experienced injury issues over the past two years, Potter thinks that the team’s conditioning should be carefully managed by both the club and the team.
He said in this regard: In his career, things that constitute a source of concern occurred, it is a setback at this stage of rehabilitation and this is worrying, but all we can do is obtain the correct diagnosis and correct advice and try to help him restore his full fitness and enjoy football.
Potter also emphasised that Wesley Fovana, a defender for Chelsea, is unlikely to participate before the World Cup because of a knee injury, which reduces France’s chances of selecting him for the team.
The possibility of James and Canti missing the World Cup exists.
