Mbappe posted a photo of himself in the French national team kit and captioned it with the words "Back" along with the French flag and bicep emojis. It should be noted that Mbappe is still the captain of the national team, so such a call-up will likely have a positive effect on both the player and the entire team.

Recall that Kylian missed two of the French team's autumn camps and did not play in four Nations League matches. Mbappe's absence was explained by the coach's decision to give his captain a rest. There were also rumors that the player wanted to retire from the national team due to severe criticism in France.

Since his debut for the national team in March 2017, Mbappe has played 86 matches for France, scoring 48 goals and providing 35 assists. He is a 2018 World Cup champion and a 2022 World Cup runner-up.
