According to the Spanish league, Kylian Mbappe, a Real Madrid forward, has an acute case of gastroenteritis.
Due to a fever, World Cup winner Mbappe missed Madrid’s opening game of the FIFA Club World Cup against Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal on Wednesday in Miami.
Coach Xabi Alonso expressed his hope that the France international would be available for the team’s upcoming Sunday game against Pachuca.
However, Mbappe’s hospitalization raises doubts about his potential participation in the month-long American competition.
In a statement on Thursday, Madrid stated that “our player Kylian Mbappe is suffering from an acute case of gastroenteritis and has been hospitalized to go through a series of tests and follow the appropriate course of treatment.”
The stomach flu also causes nausea and diarrhoea, as well as gastroenteritis.
Real and Al Hilal drew 1-1 and missed a late penalty penalty by Federico Valverde to take the loss to Real.
Mbappe had a Sunday training session with the Madrid squad in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, but he was absent from the final session on Tuesday prior to the game.
The forward’s final game was a third-place playoff match between France and Germany in the UEFA Nations League.
