Real Madrid forward Mbappe released from hospital

Kylian Mbappe, a Real Madrid player, has been discharged from the hospital following a gastroenteritis treatment.

The France captain, 26, had a fever and was unable to play in Wednesday’s 1-1 Fifa Club World Cup draw against Al-Hilal in Miami.

Real announced on Thursday that he had an “acute case of gastroenteritis,” but later confirmed that he had been released.

He has since returned to Palm Beach, Real Madrid’s training facility.

According to a club statement, “Mbappe will continue receiving specialized medical care and gradually resume his team activity.”

Sunday at 20:00 BST, Real will play Pachuca.

Mbappe might be able to play again for Real’s final group game against Salzburg on June 26 if he doesn’t recover in time.

In his first season at Real after leaving Paris St-Germain on a free transfer, Mbappe scored 43 goals in all 56 games.

At the conclusion of the La Liga season, Xabi Alonso took over as manager after taking over as manager.
