Mbappé Back To 100% As France Prepare For World Cup Group I Challenges

‎France forward, Kylian Mbappé, says he has fully recovered from the knee injury that sidelined him earlier this season.

‎The 27-year-old missed four league matches in 2026 due to the lingering issue but is now ready for full involvement.

‎He returned as a 64th-minute substitute in Real Madrid’s 3–2 win over Atlético and aims to play in every remaining match as he builds toward the World Cup.

‎Mbappe has been named in France’s squad ​for friendlies against Brazil on March 26 and Colombia three days ⁠later in ​the United States, which is co-hosting the June 11-July 19 World Cup with Canada and Mexico.

‎”I have ‌made a 100% recovery,” Mbappe told AS.

‎”I prepared for the last two World Cups in the best way possible, which is to play, score goals, win titles, and fight until the last minute for my club, and ‌this year I am going ​to do the same to arrive ‌in top form.”

‎France have been drawn into Group I for the World Cup, where they will face Norway, Senegal, and the winner of an intercontinental play-off.
