Kylian Mbappe Injury Update: Real Madrid Star Discharged from Hospital, Doubtful for Pachuca Clash |
Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe has reportedly been discharged from the hospital after being sidelined with acute gastroenteritis, according to Spanish journalist Arancha Rodriguez. The Frenchman was forced to miss Los Blancos' Club World Cup opener against Al-Hilal due to illness but is now on the road to recovery.
🏥 Mbappe Released from Hospital, Starts Recovery
The 26-year-old forward was absent as Real Madrid were held to a 1-1 draw by Saudi Pro League champions Al-Hilal on June 18. Following the diagnosis, Mbappe was hospitalized in the United States. He has now returned to the team's hotel and started light aerobic exercise in preparation for a comeback.
However, the French captain did not train with the squad on Friday (June 20), casting doubt on his availability for Sunday’s Group A clash against Pachuca on June 22. The timeline now suggests a more realistic return for the final group game against Red Bull Salzburg.
⚽ Real Madrid Need Mbappe Back ASAP
Mbappe was instrumental for Real Madrid in the 2024-25 season, scoring 43 goals and providing 5 assists across all competitions. His efforts earned him both the LaLiga Golden Boot and the European Golden Boot.
Real Madrid’s slow start to the Club World Cup adds pressure on Xabi Alonso’s men to deliver in their next two fixtures. They previously defeated Pachuca 3-0 in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, where Mbappe scored and assisted, showcasing his influence in big games.
📊 Mbappe’s Historic Debut Season with Los Blancos
Mbappe joined Real Madrid on a free transfer from PSG in the summer of 2024. After a slow start adapting to the central striker role under Carlo Ancelotti, he exploded into form mid-season.
Some of his top highlights included:
-
A hat-trick vs Manchester City in the Champions League.
-
A hat-trick vs Barcelona in LaLiga.
-
Surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of 33 debut-season goals at Real Madrid, finishing with a historic 43 goals in his first year.
With Real Madrid looking to bounce back in the Club World Cup, all eyes are now on Mbappe’s fitness ahead of the critical Group A fixtures.
