Coach Didier Deschamps has recalled N'Golo Kante and Kingsley Coman to the France squad as the World Cup holders look to earn a spot in the 2022 tournament in Qatar in qualifying matches against Kazakhstan and Finland this month.

Kante, a 50-cap Chelsea midfielder, did not play when France won the Nations League title in Italy last month after signing with Covid-19.

Meanwhile, Coman, a 25-year-old winger for Bayern Munich, returns after missing the Nations League final due to minor heart surgery.

With two games remaining, France leads Ukraine by three points in European World Cup qualifying Group D.

On November 13, they face Kazakhstan at the Parc des Princes in Paris, knowing that a win will secure their place in Qatar.

If they lose to the 125th-ranked Kazakhs, they will have another chance to finish qualification three days later when they face Finland in Helsinki.
