Kylian Mbappé has been recalled to the France squad for the Nations League quarterfinal against Croatia and is set to captain the side next week in Split.

Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe has been recalled to France's squad after being omitted by manager Didier Deschamps for the past two international breaks. The 26-year-old has been named in France's squad for the Nations League quarter-final against Croatia.

The 26-year-old missed the October call-up due to a thigh injury and was also left out of the squad for November's Nations League games.

Captain Kylian Mbappe returned to the France squad named Thursday for this month's UEFA Nations League quarter-final against Croatia, as Paris Saint-Germain teenager Desire Doue earned a first call-up.
