Kante forced off during Euro 2020 qualifiers against Iceland

N’Golo Kante was forced out of France’s European Qualifier win over Iceland on Friday night, with Tottenham’s Moussa Sissoko a late replacement for him in the starting line-up.

Chelsea midfielder Kante was originally named in the team for the Group H game in Reykjavik and took part in the warm-up.


But shortly before kick-off in the Icelandic capital he was replaced by Sissoko, with no official reason given for his absence.

France went on to win the game 1-0 thanks to a second-half Olivier Giroud penalty.
