Victim of a health problem, Kylian Mbappé has no guarantee to play the Club World Cup.
The news was not bad this weekend for Kylian Mbappé. But the participation of the Real Madrid striker in the Club World Cup still arouses doubt. The French player underwent a health problem seriously a few days ago to weaken him.
Victim of acute gastroenteritis, Kylian Mbappé had to be hospitalized. Before that, the 26-year-old had forfeited for the first Real Madrid match in the United States, on the occasion of this club World Cup, played on Wednesday against the Saudis in Al-Hilal (1-1).
Affected by a virus, Mbappé had been placed in isolation in his hotel room so as not to cause contamination with his teammates. Thursday, we learned by a press release from the Spanish club that the former PSG was back at the Madrid base camp ≪ will continue to receive specific medical treatment and gradually resume an activity within the team. ”
The thesis of surprise elimination
In the Spanish media, two versions opposed. The most optimistic announced Kylian Mbappé operational for the second match of group H, this Sunday against the Mexicans of Pachuca. Missed. Its package was formalized on Saturday.
Other journalists argue that the duration of unavailability would climb to 10 days, beyond the third match of the first phase, against the Austrians of the RB Salzburg (June 27).
What if Real Madrid could not qualify for the round of 16? A credible hypothesis with for example a new draw, facing Pachuca, and a reverse to come against Salzburg. Kylian Mbappé would then miss the competition. A disaster scenario for the captain of the Blues.
