Chelsea and France ace N‘Golo Kante goes missing behind taller team-mates in two team photos
Leicester City legend won consecutive Premier League titles but still prefers to live his life away from the spotlight
CHELSEA and France's ego-free star N’Golo Kante managed to hide in two official photos with his World Cup squad.
The Leicester legend, after driving them to a 5000-1 Premier League title, is famed for avoiding the limelight.
But he took his shyness to new levels during the photocall for the France national team before they head to the World Cup.
The former Caen player joined the rest of the squad picked by Didier Dechamps for the tournament in Russia.
But can you see him?
Somehow Kante managed to hide behind fame-loving Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba in one group shot.
And in a second snap, the diminutive 27-year-old is barely visible between two towering team-mates, as his forehead appears just over their shoulders.
Kante is already a hero at Stamford Bridge after landing a top-flight title there last season and an FA Cup in May and fans will be thrilled to hear he is settled in London.
He said: “They come over often from Paris.
“When they visit they want to see the tourist sites in London. It’s a good city, a big city. There are lots of things to do.
“For me London will always be different because Paris is home, I was born there, I’m from there, I can speak French there.

“But they are both great capitals where you can find everything you need.”
At the Chelsea training ground in Cobham you can find a pool table that the PSG transfer target perseveres with – despite not being a natural.
And the painfully modest ace likens it to his football style where he out runs and battles rivals who tower over him.
He said: “Pool is one thing, football another! I know I am not the best pool player, so I try to be clever by thinking about how I want to play!
“On the pitch it is the same. Everyone has their job to do. We try to prepare for it and work on it in training. In games we all work for each other.
“I need to anticipate if one attack is going wrong, what is needed to be done to stop the counter-attack.
