A patient unlike any other. Yesterday, Kylian Mbappé (26 years old) was hospitalized in the United States, where Real Madrid is currently participating in the FIFA Club World Cup. This decision was made by the Casa Blanca medical staff, who didn't want to take any risks with their player. He had already missed Real Madrid's match against Al-Hilal (1-1) on Wednesday because he had a fever. Xabi Alonso gave an update after the match: "He's had a fever these past few days, he wasn't feeling well. We hope he'll be available for the next match."
But his condition worried the Madrid club, which had placed him in isolation. The Spanish press also reported that the Frenchman wasn't feeling well and had had to change his diet. Yesterday, the club, based at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, officially released a statement regarding his health . "Our player Kylian Mbappé has acute gastroenteritis and has been hospitalized for various tests and to receive the appropriate treatment ," the press release stated.
An update on the Mbappé case
Later, Real Madrid announced that the French national team captain had left the hospital. "Our player Kylian Mbappé left the hospital this afternoon and returned to Real Madrid's training camp. Mbappé will continue to receive specific medical treatment and will gradually resume activities with the team." However, Real Madrid did not provide any details regarding his return to competition. Cadena SER reported yesterday that he is expected to play in the second group stage match on Sunday against Pachuca at the Bank of Stadium in Charlotte.

Others were less optimistic. This Friday, El Chiringuito provided an update on the situation. On site, journalist Edu Aguirre, who is very well-informed about Real Madrid, indicated that the French striker is continuing to recover at the hotel and that it is practically certain he will miss the match against Pachuca. This seems quite logical given his condition. But that's not all. He also added that the player would need at least ten days to be fully recovered. This could also jeopardize his participation in the match against RB Salzburg on June 27th. Xabi Alonso will make the decision based on the player's condition, but he will not take any risks.
