PSG ace Mbappe welcomes France recall for Real Madrid striker Benzema

PSG ace Kylian Mbappe has welcomed the France recall of Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema.

France coach Didier Deschamps ended a five-year exile for the Real star by naming him in the preliminary Euros squad.

Mbappe, after victory over Monaco, stated: "The return of Karim Benzema to the French team? I'm very happy, I've always said I wanted to play with great players. Benzema, there are not a lot of top players in the world. He will bring us what he can do.

"He played in Madrid for ten years. The pressure, he knows, he has the experience, he has the talent above all.

"It's easy to adapt with the big players. So I am sure that he will adapt very quickly."
