In the aftermath of Real Madrid's entry into the club World Cup, the Merengues communicated on the absence of Kylian Mbappé. A message that is concerned about Madrid supporters.
On Wednesday evening, Real Madrid was held in check by Al Hilal (1-1) for its entry into the Club World Cup. The great first of Xabi Alonso on the Madrid bench, but also of Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold on the green rectangle will not have gone as planned. The Merengue were, moreover, deprived of Kylian Mbappé to challenge the men of Simone Inzaghi, an absence on which the club communicated this Thursday.
The White House reveals that the tricolor suffers from acute gastroenteritis, and has been hospitalized for various tests and treatments. If no additional information has been disclosed by the vice-champion of Spain, its presence on Sunday to challenge the Mexican club of Pachuca (9:00 p.m.) is more than uncertain. Xabi Alonso must prepare to compose again without its number 9.
To fill the void left by Kylian Mbappé, Xabi Alonso set off on Wednesday evening against Al Hilal the young Gonzalo Garcia (21) at the forefront of the attack. A paid choice, since it was the Spaniard who opened the scoring in this part, perfectly served by Rodrygo.
An achievement that may well allow the young Madrid to be holder on Sunday against Pachuca, unless his coach seeks to modify certain things to get a first victory in this club World Cup.
