- Kylian Mbappe has been hospitalised in Miami with acute gastroenteritis
- Real Madrid confirmed the illness after the forward missed the 1–1 draw with Al-Hilal
- Mbappe is unlikely to feature in the next match against Pachuca due to the heat and short recovery window
Key Takeaways:
Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe has been hospitalised in Miami, the club officially confirmed. Mbappe missed yesterday’s first match for Los Blancos at the Club World Cup against Al-Hilal (1:1), with the stated reason being illness.
However, the situation around the French international is more serious, as it was revealed he is suffering from acute gastroenteritis. He has been admitted to hospital for additional tests and to receive the necessary treatment. The condition is marked by inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and includes symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhoea.

“Our player Kylian Mbappe has acute gastroenteritis and was admitted to hospital for various tests, as well as for the administration of appropriate treatment,” read the club’s statement.
It is still unclear how serious the player’s condition is, and more information is expected from the hospital in the coming hours. Given the fact that Real Madrid’s next match against Mexican side Pachuca is in three days, it is naive to think that his inclusion in the squad will be risked. This is especially true since almost all matches involving top European teams are played around noon local time in the highest heat, to ensure favourable viewing hours for fans in Europe.
