Kylian Mbappe discharged from hospital after illness

Kylian Mbappe has been released from the hospital after being treated for acute gastroenteritis, according to Real Madrid. The club confirmed that the French forward was admitted earlier in the week for tests and medical care due to the illness that kept him from training and participating in recent matches.

His hospitalization was a surprise development amid Madrid’s busy schedule at the FIFA Club World Cup. Madrid’s medical team provided an update later in the day, stating that Mbappe had returned to the club’s training base and was continuing his recovery.

The club emphasized that he would undergo specific medical treatment and would gradually rejoin team activities as his condition improved. The club remains cautious about his availability for upcoming fixtures, given the nature of his illness.

Mbappe missed training on Tuesday and was absent from Madrid’s opening game in the tournament against Al-Hilal on Wednesday. Head Coach of Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso indicated that the player was in “rough shape” and had not been able to train in the days leading up to the match.

His absence was considered a setback for Madrid, who are aiming to secure the club’s first FIFA Club World Cup title. The team’s next game is scheduled for Sunday against Pachuca in North Carolina.

It remains unclear whether Mbappe will be fit to feature in the match, as the club continues to monitor his recovery. Madrid’s management has not confirmed his participation, but they are hopeful he will be ready in time for the decisive group stage fixture.
