Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe has been hospitalized after being diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis, forcing him to miss his team’s opening match in the FIFA Club World Cup against Al-Hilal. The French captain, who joined the Spanish giants from Paris Saint-Germain in a high-profile free transfer, was absent from Tuesday’s training session due to a fever and was later ruled out of Wednesday’s 1-1 draw against the Saudi Arabian side.
In an official statement released on Thursday, Real Madrid confirmed that Mbappe had been admitted to a hospital for further evaluation and diagnostic tests as part of his treatment plan. The club described his condition as an “acute case of gastroenteritis,” a viral intestinal infection known to cause severe stomach pain, vomiting, and diarrhea, often leading to dehydration and fatigue.
Mbappe’s availability for Real Madrid’s upcoming Club World Cup clash against Pachuca on Sunday at 20:00 BST remains uncertain. The medical team is closely monitoring his condition, and a final decision will be made based on his recovery progress in the coming days.
This development comes as a significant setback for Real Madrid, as Mbappe has quickly become a central figure in the club’s attacking force. Since his arrival, the 26-year-old striker has netted an impressive 43 goals in 56 appearances across all competitions, cementing his status as one of the most prolific scorers in European football.
