Real Madrid’s Mbappe Hospitalized for Digestive Issue
Real Madrid Stumbles in Club World Cup Debut
Real Madrid faced a tough challenge against Al-Hilal in their Club World Cup debut, failing to secure a victory and leaving Xabi Alonso disappointed on his personal debut as a manager. The match saw a missed penalty in stoppage time, a crucial moment that could have been taken by star player Kylian Mbappe if he had been available. Unfortunately, Fede Valverde was unable to convert the penalty, leading to a frustrating result for the Spanish giants.
Kylian Mbappe’s Health Concerns
Prior to the match, Kylian Mbappe was a last-minute doubt after missing training due to illness. Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso had to make a tough decision and ultimately decided that Mbappe was unable to recover from a fever in time to participate in the game. Alonso mentioned that they would monitor Mbappe’s progress as he continued to battle the illness that kept him sidelined for two days.
Mbappe Hospitalized for Tests
Following his absence from the match, Kylian Mbappe was taken to the hospital for further evaluation. Real Madrid confirmed that Mbappe was diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis and has been undergoing treatment as prescribed by doctors. The talented forward spent a night in the hospital and will be closely monitored for the next 48 hours. With a crucial game against Pachuca approaching, Real Madrid is hopeful for Mbappe’s swift recovery.
Gonzalo Garcia Torres Seizes Opportunity
In the absence of Mbappe, Xabi Alonso turned to Gonzalo Garcia Torres as the focal point in attack against Al-Hilal. The young striker, who has been impressive for Real Madrid Castilla this season, showcased his abilities by scoring the equalizer in the match. Garcia’s performance highlighted his potential and versatility, making a case for a possible spot in Alonso’s squad for the upcoming season.
Despite facing challenges, Real Madrid and their players remain determined to overcome obstacles and showcase their strength on the global stage.
