Kylian Mbappe’s sudden illness has sent shockwaves through the Real Madrid camp just days before a crucial Club World Cup clash.
The French winger, who only recently joined the Spanish giants, was rushed to hospital after falling seriously ill.
Real Madrid confirmed on Thursday that Mbappe is battling acute gastroenteritis, a condition that led to intense symptoms and urgent medical care.
Sources from inside the club told Marca that Mbappe has been suffering from a high fever, severe stomach pain, and overall weakness. These symptoms pushed Madrid’s medical team to run several tests to understand the depth of the issue.
The former PSG winger is now receiving close medical attention and undergoing focused treatment under the supervision of the team’s doctors. A brief rest period has been recommended before he resumes training with the squad.
Mbappe has already missed Wednesday’s game against Al-Hilal and is expected to be ruled out of Sunday’s tie against Pachuca. His absence is a major setback for the Spanish club.
