Real Madrid's star forward, Kylian Mbappe, has been hospitalized due to an acute case of gastroenteritis, as confirmed by the Spanish club on Thursday.
The World Cup winner's illness caused him to miss Madrid's first appearance at the Club World Cup against Al Hilal in Miami. The team is hopeful for his return in their upcoming match against Pachuca, but his availability is uncertain.
With FIFA president Gianni Infantino aiming for this tournament to rival prominent events like the Champions League, Mbappe's presence is sorely missed. This situation mirrors his past setback of a broken nose during the European Championship last year.
