LONDON: France coach Didier Deschamps expects versatile midfielder N'Golo Kante to make a seamless transition to the national team setup but will ease him in ahead of the European Championship. "He's a player capable of playing everywhere in the midfield," Deschamps told a news conference on Monday ahead of France's final warmup match against Bulgaria on Wednesday. Deschamps said Kante's training programme has been tailored to have him fully prepared for their opening Group F match against Germany on Jun 15. "He doesn't have any particular physical concerns so it was more of a recovery," Deschamps said. Lucas Hernandez, Adrien Rabiot and Kingsley Coman are injury doubts for the Bulgaria clash but Deschamps is hoping the trio will be fit to face Germany.
