Mbappe, who missed Les Bleus' last three matches through injury, has returned to coach Zinedine Zidane's squad ahead of their Nations League matches with Italy and Turkey this week.
"He's in a very good frame of mind; you can see that from his recent matches - he's been decisive. He's absolutely vital for us in Madrid," Konate, who also plays with Mbappe at Real Madrid, said.
