France defender Ibrahima Konate says Kylian Mbappe is in a "good frame of mind" as the captain returns to the national team after missing the last three matches through injury. Mbappe, who has been sidelined since the October international window, is back in the squad for upcoming fixtures.
The forward's absence was felt during France's recent matches, but Konate expressed confidence in his teammate's readiness. The AFP report from November 9, 2026, indicates Mbappe has recovered and is prepared to resume his leadership role for Les Bleus.
