France’s national team coach Didier Deschamps has confirmed that Kylian Mbappe will be back in the squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League quarter-final against Croatia in March. The Paris Saint-Germain forward had been absent from recent international fixtures due to his high-profile move to Real Madrid and personal reasons.

Mbappe remains one of the most influential players in the French squad, and his return is seen as a major boost for Les Bleus. Despite his absence, France has maintained strong performances, but having their talismanic forward back in action will undoubtedly strengthen their attack. Deschamps has also reaffirmed Mbappe’s leadership role, signaling that he remains a key figure in the team’s long-term plans.

The match against Croatia will serve as a crucial test for France as they prepare for the upcoming international tournaments. With young players like Eduardo Camavinga and Aurélien Tchouaméni stepping up in recent months, Mbappe’s experience and goal-scoring ability will be vital in leading France’s charge for more silverware.
