Didier Deschamps has confirmed that Kylian Mbappe is fit to start for France in their pre-World Cup friendly against Brazil on Thursday. Mbappe's fitness had been under scrutiny in recent weeks after Real Madrid revealed he was dealing with a knee injury, which sidelined him for five matches. However, the striker made his return as a substitute in the team's last outing.
