Let\u2019s think what benefits the player. He didn\u2019t go, we both agreed on that. That\u2019s how things should work.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After the first game when he pulled out, he then had a fitness test the day before the second game; it was clear that he couldn&#8217;t play. He then sat on the bench on the evening of the game, so that&#8217;s not communication. It&#8217;s not such a laughing matter I suppose.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And it&#8217;s more for Kante himself because he&#8217;s not an inexperienced player, he&#8217;s been around the block, he&#8217;s won World Cups, he&#8217;s been fantastic player. I think that probably could have been handled better for sure.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our doctors were speaking and there were some times when things weren&#8217;t coming back to us when I would expect them to come back \u2013 that&#8217;s what I mean about communication.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Manchester United &amp; Liverpool Ranked From Worst to Best\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LDn2xp26mjE?start=567&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to <a href=\"http:\/\/sqwk.at\/Squawka-Sub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Squawka\u2019s Youtube channel here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Lampard disappointed with Kante&#8217;s late return<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Kante is not the only Chelsea casualty from the international break, with Andreas Christensen ruled out for at least two weeks with a hamstring injury and Mateo Kovacic a doubt due to a thigh problem.<\/p>\n<p>But while injuries are always a risk, Lampard continued to express his unhappiness with Kante&#8217;s late return.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We got a player back a bit later,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I understand when players are on international duty, they are their player as such but it was quite clear he wasn&#8217;t fit to play.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From our point of view we would have wanted him back to work on him but it&#8217;s been and gone and as with every international player I will try and have open lines of communication with every manager for both our sakes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Kante, for instance, the first squad, nobody would have benefited from him going \u2013 me, him or France.
