The Chelsea midfielder joined up with the
Les Bleus for their upcoming internationals against Ivory Coast and South
Africa.
However, after linking up with the national
team earlier this week, the 30-year-old has had to pull out temporarily.
According to RMC Sports, Kante had to
'leave the rally' on Tuesday for personal reasons.
Whether Kante will return to Didier
Deschamps' camp for the two matches is unclear, however if it is possible he
will rejoin his teammates.
France are also without Presnel Kimpembe
(bronchitis), Hugo Lloris (calf), and Mike Maignan, but all three are set to
return on Wednesday.

from the England squad for their games against Switzerland and Ivory Coast as
he continues to recover from injury at Cobham
The decision came after Thomas Tuchel asked
Petr Cech to make the recommendation to Gareth Southgate to allow him to not be
involved.
"Petr Cech will have this chat
because, of course, the recommendation is that he does not go," Tuchel
admitted at the weekend.
"He is still in individual training,
otherwise, we would have brought him to Lille and we would have brought him
here for sure. There is no doubt about it.
"He is still in individual training,
he needs one more week of rehabilitation and I think we can provide this much better
than – it is not the job of the national team to do this."
