Kylian Mbappé already failed for the first group game at the club World Cup. Now Real Madrid’s star even had to go to the hospital for a short time.
Kylian Mbappé had a short hospital stay on the edge of the club World Cup in the USA. The Real Madrid star attacker was taken to a hospital on Thursday, according to the royal, for a “acute gastrointestinal flu” for tests and treatments.
In the evening there was another message that the striker had left the hospital in the afternoon and had returned to the Real training camp. Mbappé will receive further medical treatment and “gradually return to team life”. It is open whether the 26-year-old is still used at the XXL tournament after surviving the gastrointestinal flu.
Already at the first group game of the tournament against Al-Hilal, Mbappé could not appear. The game on Wednesday evening ended 1-1. His use is also questionable in the upcoming encounters against CF Pachuca (Sunday, 9:00 p.m. CEST) and RB Salzburg (June 27, 3:00 a.m. CEST, both in the live ticker at T-Online).
In addition to the French international, coach Xabi Alonso had to do without numerous other top performers in his first competitive game. Antonio Rüdiger, David Alaba, Eduardo Camavinga, Dani Carvajal, Éder Militão, Endrick and Ferland Mendy were missing.
