Didier Deschamps Confirms Kylian Mbappe’s Future In France’s National Team
Kylian Mbappe is currently enjoying a rich vein of form at Real Madrid, after a slow start to life at Los Blancos.

Speaking to L'Equipe, Deschamps said:
Of course he'll be there. Why wouldn't he be? Yes, for very specific reasons [he was not here] but he'll be there if nothing happens to him between now and then. He's very attached to the French team, even if he's had a complicated personal period. He's back to full fitness, and you can see that in his game, and in his head too.
Deschamps added:
Few holidays, little preparation, six complicated months in Paris, back pain, a broken nose at the Euro – these things obviously have athletic and psychological consequences, not to mention his adjustment to Madrid. It took some time, but it fell into place because he did everything necessary.
