According to press reports, Kylian Mbappe was hospitalized in the United States before the start of their first match in the Club World Cup against Al Hilal, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

The French international striker trained with his teammates on Sunday in Florida in preparation for the first match of the Club World Cup.

However, on Tuesday, the day before their match with Al Hilal, Kylian Mbappe did not attend the last training session under Spanish coach Xabi Alonso because the French striker was suffering from a fever.

Kylian was feeling a little better, but not enough.It’s better for him not to train. We’ll wait until the last minute, we’ll decide tomorrow.’

This is what the Spanish coach said after the last training session.

After it was explained that the player was suffering from a mild internal fever that caused him to miss the last training session before the match against Al Hilal, it has recently become clear that the player not only suffers from a real fever, but that the disease has developed into what is called “acute gastroenteritis” and needs special care.

On Thursday, Real Madrid issued an official announcement regarding Kylian Mbappé’s health, stating that the French forward has been diagnosed with severe gastroenteritis. As a precautionary measure, he has been admitted to the hospital for further medical examinations and necessary treatment.

Madrid’s upcoming fixtures include a clash with Mexico’s Pachuca on June 22 in the group stage, followed by a match against Red Bull Salzburg on June 27. The club will be monitoring Mbappé’s condition closely ahead of these crucial games.

Due to this fever and inflammation, the Frenchman has reportedly revealed that he will 100% miss the match against Mexican side Pachuca.
