Kylian Mbappé returns to France squad for UEFA Nations League quarterfinal

Kylian Mbappé is set to return to the France national team for the upcoming UEFA Nations League quarterfinal against Croatia, as confirmed by head coach Didier Deschamps. After a period of exclusion due to a dip in form and personal issues, Mbappé's resurgence at Real Madrid, where he has scored 23 goals this season, has warranted his recall. Deschamps emphasized that Mbappé is very attached to the national team despite having faced criticism for his absences during previous international breaks. The coach acknowledged that Mbappé's complicated transition to Madrid and off-field matters had impacted his performance but noted that he has now regained his form. This reinstatement comes at a crucial time for France as they aim for a spot in the Nations League semifinals. Deschamps reassured that concerns regarding Mbappé's captaincy and commitment to the team have been resolved.
