Club confirm Mbappé receiving treatment in hospital
Kylian Mbappé has been admitted to hospital with acute gastroenteritis, Real Madrid have said. The forward missed the team’s opening game of the Club World Cup against Al-Hilal, which ended in a 1-1 draw on Wednesday.
“Our player Kylian Mbappé is suffering from an acute case of gastroenteritis and has been admitted to hospital in order to undergo a series of tests and follow the appropriate course of treatment,” Madrid said in a statement.
Madrid’s manager, Xabi Alonso, had said after the Al-Hilal game that Mbappé had experienced “significant viral issues” and that the forward would be assessed before the next game, on Sunday, against Pachuca.
