On the eve of the quarterfinals return from the League of Nations between France and Croatia, a decision was made concerning Kylian Mbappé.

What will Didier Deschamps do? After the disappointment of the first leg, and the 2-0 defeat in Split, the coach of the French team should make several changes in his starting eleven for the quarter-final return from the League of Nations against Croatia, Sunday evening at the Stade de France.

We could find out more this Saturday with the traditional match -watch press conference. An event in which Kylian Mbappé will not participate. Traditionally, the Captain of Blues appears in front of the media, alongside his coach, during the last press point before a match of the French team. Hugo Lloris never deviated from this rule. But Kylian Mbappé does not always bend for this use.

Mbappé holder Sunday evening?

This Saturday, Aurélien Tchouameni will stick to it. The Real Madrid midfielder is one of the vice-capital in selection. Of course, this change in the protocol does not mean that Kylian Mbappé will be replacing Sunday evening for revenge against Luka Modric & Co.

According to the team forecasts, the Bondynois should keep its place in the eleven, just like Ousmane Dembélé. The two former teammates at Paris Saint-Germain could support by Michael Olise. Randal Kolo Muani would be the great loser of Croatie-France.

The possible composition of the Blues against Croatia: Maignan – Koundé, Saliba, Upamecano, Digne – Koné, Tchouameni, Rabiot – Olise, Dembélé, Mbappé.
