World Cup: Kylian Mbappe returns to France training and looks set to face England in quarter-final<br /><br />KYLIAN MBAPPE has trained for the first time, giving a major boost to France ahead of their match with England.<br /><br />The two sides are set to go head-to-head in the World Cup quarter-final on Saturday evening.<br /><br />The French star missed training earlier this week, leading to English hopes that he might not be fit for the match.<br /><br />Mbappe has starred at the tournament so far, having scored five goals and assisted two in his four appearances.<br /><br />The PSG forward's performances helped France top their group and beat Poland 3-1 in the round of 16.<br /><br />England manager Gareth Southgate has been working with his number two Steve Holland on a plan to stop the dangerous forward.<br /><br />The Three Lions are hoping that Manchester City defender Kyle Walker will be on his best form in order to nullify the 23-year-old.<br /><br />Ten years ago Holland managed to come up with a set-up that stopped Lionel Messi in the Champions League semi-final between Chelsea and Barcelona.<br /><br />Messi failed to score in either tie as the Blues progressed to the final in which they went on to win against Bayern Munich.<br /><br />Holland said: “In 2012, with the Champions League semi-final between Barcelona and Chelsea, there are a handful of players on the planet that you need to consider special attention to.<br /><br />“Messi has been one and probably still is. You’d have to put Mbappe in that category.<br /><br />“We do need to look at trying to avoid leaving ourselves in situations where he is as devastating, as we’ve all seen.<br /><br />“I remember a conversation with Jose Mourinho about it when he was with Real Madrid, they were playing Barcelona and had Cristiano Ronaldo.<br /><br />“Dani Alves would be the right-back for Barcelona and flying forward in attack, Jose would play a ‘soldier’ against him to try to stop him but then you don’t get any threat from your team from the soldier as you’re just stopping somebody, not actually hurting them.<br /><br />“Then he would try to play Ronaldo against him, one against one, because Alves was fantastic going forwards but maybe not as good defensively.”<br />
