Kylian Mbappé’s Club World Cup campaign is off to a rocky start — and his health scare has had real consequences.
According to Marca, the Real Madrid forward has lost between 4 and 5 kilograms after suffering from a severe gastroenteritis at the beginning of the tournament. At his usual playing weight of around 75 kg (165 lbs), that drop is significant.
Mbappé missed the games against Al-Hilal (1–1) and Pachuca (3–1), and remains a doubt for Friday’s clash with Salzburg. Real Madrid recently shared images of the French star on social media, where he appears visibly thinner.
Though his condition has improved, he’s still not fully fit — and his status for the rest of the competition remains uncertain.
