Blues chief Lampard wants his midfielder Kante to have a proper rest after a knee injury and sprained ankle so far this season.
And ex-Chelsea anchorman Deschamps has agreed to leave the 28-year-old out of next month's Euro 2020 qualifiers with Albania and Andorra.
One Blues supporter tweeted in response: “Respect to Didier Deschamps for not selecting N'Golo Kante for France.
“He only has a minor injury, but Frank Lampard directly asked him if he could not use Kante so he can get extra rest, and he obliged. Many wouldn't.”
Other supporters wondered if Deschamps' playing spell at Stamford Bridge from 1990-2000 influenced his decision.
“Once a Blue, always a Blue” was a popular comment.
