Kylian Mbappe has been taken to hospital in the USA as he’s suffering from acute gastroenteritis. The 26-year-old missed Real Madrid’s opening match of the Club World Cup on Wednesday as his side were held to a 1-1 draw by Al-Hilal.
Following Mbappe’s absence, Real released a statement on their website that read: “Our player Kylian Mbappé has acute gastroenteritis and has been hospitalised for various tests and treatment.”
Meanwhile, Real boss Xabi Alonso was asked about Mbappe following his team’s first match of the tournament.
And the former Liverpool midfielder explained: “I don’t know if Mbappé will be back for the next game. We’ll see. He wasn’t doing well in the last two days. He’s sick.”
