The Kylian Mbappé soap opera should end on Tuesday evening.
And even a little earlier if Didier Deschamps officially confirms this Monday afternoon during his press conference (6 p.m.) the presence of his star at the start of the meeting against Sweden the next day.
For the last game in 2020 of the Blues, the coach is counting on his young scorer (38 caps, 26 goals), injured and forfeited against Finland (0-2 defeat) last Wednesday and in Lisbon on Saturday during the precious success of the world champions ahead of Portugal (0-1).
From the start of the meeting?
Over the hours, the probability of seeing the titular Parisian grows thicker.

Too fair for the shock against Cristiano Ronaldo, the native of Bondy, who has missed eight of the last thirteen matches of the Blues, is overflowing with impatience at the idea of finding the grounds and the jersey of the selection.
Faithful to his line of conduct and eager to maintain good relations with Paris SG, Didier Deschamps took no risk with his best striker, in connection with his medical staff.
The main interested party was satisfied with care, playing without a ball most of his time at Clairefontaine.
"He is keen (to be there), Kylian will be available on Tuesday," reassured the coach, happy to be able to count on him to end a singular 2020 year in the best possible way.
Mbappé wants to ramp up in view of the shock against Leipzig
In the mind of Kylian Mbappé, there was never any question of refusing the summons to the France team, and this despite a failing physique since his injury against Nantes on November 1.
At the center of the debate between his selection and his club, at a time when the question of player management is raging in view of the hellish calendar, the main party has remained silent.
Behind the scenes, he can't wait to get back to the pitch and put on the France team jersey again.
A moment still unique in his mind.
Decisive scorer in the first leg against Sweden (0-1) last September, the former Monegasque even sees a little further than the meeting on Tuesday night.
He also checked the date of November 24 and the decisive match against Leipzig in the Champions League with PSG.
To get there in good shape, he who tested positive for Covid-19 in September, Mbappé knows he has to find some rhythm and to chain matches.
It starts on Tuesday evening at the Stade de France.
