Mbappe Returns To France Squad, Psg's Doue Gets First Call-up

Kylian Mbappe has returned to the France squad for this month's UEFA Nations League quarterfinal against Croatia, while Paris Saint-Germain teenager Desire Doue has earned his first senior call-up.
Mbappe, 26, was left out of the previous two France squads by coach Didier Deschamps during the Nations League group stage in October and November.
Initially omitted due to fitness concerns, he was later excluded amid speculation about his private life.
However, the Real Madrid forward has since been in top form, netting 28 goals across all competitions this season.
Deschamps confirmed that Mbappe remains the teams captain, stating, I have chatted with him, and I confirm what I already said a few weeks ago, that he will be the captain.
