Kylian Mbappé is with the France team but without Presnel Kimpembe to play two 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

GIANLUIGI DONNARUMMA - ITALY

There's no  Marco Verratti for the European champions, but Gianluigi Donnarumma is part of the Squadra Azzurra that will host Switzerland on Friday before going to Northern Ireland on Monday. The Italians are top of the group, level with Switzerland, meaning they can clinch their place at Qatar 2022 in Rome on Friday.

NUNO MENDES / DANILO PEREIRA - PORTUGAL

Nuno Mendes and Danilo Pereira are with a Portugal squad that has won its last five games. They go to the Republic of Ireland on Thursday before hosting Serbia in Lisbon on Sunday.

ANGEL DI MARIA / LEANDRO PAREDES / LIONEL MESSI - ARGENTINA

There's a brace of CONMEBOL qualifiers too. There's a trip to Uruguay on Thursday before facing Brazil at home on Tuesday. Argentina are currently second in the standings, six points behind Brazil but eight ahead of Ecuador in third place. Both Brazil and Argentina have a  game in hand.
