Kylian Mbappé Hospitalized with Acute Gastroenteritis

Real Madrid have announced that Kylian Mbappé is in the hospital with acute gastroenteritis. Fans are now worried about when he will return to action.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The club said on Thursday that Mbappé has a severe stomach illness. He has been admitted to the hospital for more tests and treatment. The French striker missed Real Madrid’s Club World Cup opening match against Al Hilal, which ended 1-1. He is undergoing medical tests to determine how badly he is ill and when he can recover.

REAL MADRID’S SEASON SO FAR

Mbappé has been in superb form since his big-money transfer from Paris Saint-Germain, scoring 31 La Liga goals and becoming an important part of the team. Real Madrid remain a dominant force in Europe with five Champions Leagues in the last decade. Their recent draw with Al Hilal without Mbappé has raised questions about their attacking strength without their star man. Madrid now host Mexican champions Pachuca on Sunday in North Carolina. The team will hope to return to winning ways and strengthen its tournament position.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR MBAPPÉ AND REAL MADRID?

With Madrid’s next Club World Cup game fast approaching, Mbappé’s recovery will be closely monitored by the medical staff. As health experts say, gastroenteritis is often resolved within a week, but each case is different. The club and the fans will be hoping for good news as Real Madrid aim to make an impact on the big stage and keep fighting for trophies. Their next match is crucial, as Pachuca are coming off a strong season. Real Madrid will look to build momentum with or without their key man on the pitch.
