N’Golo Kante reckons Chelsea team-mate Tiemoue Bakayoko should be alongside him in the French national squad
Midfielders are starting to build fine relationship at the Blues but Bakayoko still can't get into Didier Deschamps' plans
N’GOLO KANTE claims it’s a “shame” that Chelsea team-mate Tiemoue Bakayoko has not been called up to the latest France squad.
The duo are quickly forming a fine midfield partnership at the champions following Bakayoko’s £40million arrival from Monaco over the summer.
“We are trying to produce what the coach wants us to and things are working quite well.
“[Against Man City] it was a slightly more difficult match. In big matches sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
“But we will continue and it is encouraging for the future… [but] it is a shame that he has not been called up for France.
“There were are looking to qualify [for the finals], hopefully we can pull that off.”
