Kylian Mbappe was involved in Real Madrid training earlier this week in Palm Beach, Florida

Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe is in hospital with gastroenteritis after missing their Club World Cup opener against Al-Hilal.

The France captain, 26, missed training on Tuesday with a fever and did not play in Wednesday's 1-1 draw against the Saudi Arabian side.

A Real statement on Thursday said Mbappe has "an acute case of gastroenteritis" and was admitted to hospital for "a series of tests".

Gastroenteritis is an infection in the gut which can cause vomiting and diarrhoea.
