Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé has returned to the France squad list.
France national team manager Didier Deschamps released his squad on Thursday for Les Bleus’ Nations League quarter-finals against Croatia.
Deschamps included Mbappé in the squad after he opted not to call him up for the November international break last time.
Mbappé also missed out on the October fixtures with France, presumably due to injury.
His Real Madrid teammate Aurélien Tchouaméni is also back in the France squad at the expense of Al-Ittihad midfielder N’Golo Kanté.
Here is France’s full squad:
Goalkeepers:
Lucas Chevalier (Lille), Mike Maignan (AC Milan), Brice Samba (Lens)
Defenders:
Jonathan Clauss (Nice), Lucas Digne (Aston Villa), Theo Hernandez (AC Milan), Ibrahima Konaté (Liverpool), Jules Koundé (Barcelona), Benjamin Pavard (Inter), William Saliba (Arsenal), Dayot Upamecano (Bayern Munich)
Midfielders:
Eduardo Camavinga (Real Madrid), Matteo Guendouzi (Lazio), Manu Koné (Roma), Adrien Rabiot (Marseille), Aurélien Tchouaméni (Real Madrid), Warren Zaïre-Emery (PSG)
Forwards:
Bradley Barcola (PSG), Ousmane Dembélé (PSG), Désiré Doué (PSG), Randal Kolo Muani (PSG), Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid), Michael Olise (Bayern Munich), Marcus Thuram (Inter Milan).
