Kylian Mbappe is thrilled to be rejoining the French national team as he gears up to make his first international appearance in six months in the UEFA Nations League quarterfinal against Croatia. The 26-year-old France captain expressed his joy at being back on the field during a press conference in Split on Wednesday.
After missing two international matches in October due to injury and being rested for two more in November, Mbappe is eager to return to action. Despite facing challenges during his transition to Real Madrid, he is excited to represent his country once again.
Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid last summer came with high expectations, but he struggled to find his best form for the Spanish and European champions. He also faced off-field distractions when his name was linked to a rape investigation by Swedish media. However, the case was dropped in December without any charges being filed.
Now, with those challenges behind him, Mbappe is focused on leading France against Croatia in the UEFA Nations League clash. The World Cup winner is determined to make an impact as Les Bleus continue their quest for Nations League glory.
As Mbappe prepares to take the field in Split on Thursday and then at the Stade de France in Paris three days later, he is looking forward to reuniting with his teammates and representing his country once again. The French forward is determined to showcase his skills and help his team secure victory in the upcoming matches.
With his passion for the game and his commitment to success, Mbappe is ready to make his mark on the international stage once again. Stay tuned to see his performance in the upcoming UEFA Nations League quarterfinal clash against Croatia.
