Ekitike and Mbappe got their name on the scoresheet for France this week as Didier Deschamps' team defeated Brazil 2-1 with 10 men.
The Liverpool striker brushed off injury concerns after he limped off against Brighton with a dead leg before the international break.
Ekitike’s goal was his second for the France senior side and came in only his third start for his country and as prepares to break into the side ahead of the World Cup.
Speaking after the clash, he revealed he how he feels free within the French squad in what is a welcome break away from Liverpool.
"With players like Kylian and Ousmane, I have the opportunity to go wherever I want. I like being able to be free and all the better if I gain points.
“I'm enjoying myself and helping the French team win. I still have a lot of progress to make, this is a pivotal year for me. It's a real source of pride, I'm taking everything I can get. I hope I'll be there (at the World Cup), I'm continuing to do what I'm doing."
France will continue their American tour this Sunday against Colombia in Maryland in what is a strong lead up to the World Cup.
