KYLIAN Mbappe will take part in France’s friendly against South Africa on Tuesday after recovering from an ENT infection, coach Didier Deschamps said on Sunday.
The forward missed the world champions’ 2-1 win over Ivory Coast in Marseille when Olivier Giroud netted his 47th international goal, which put the AC Milan striker four shy of Thierry Henry’s all-time France scoring record.
In his absence, Giroud, Antoine Griezmann and Christopher Nkunku formed France’s attacking line-up against Ivory Coast.
