Kylian Mbappé is back just in time — and right on cue for his reunion with PSG in the Club World Cup semi-final. The Real Madrid star is ready to take center stage after a turbulent start to the tournament.
Sidelined early in the competition, Mbappé made his return against Juventus (1–0), followed by a stunning bicycle kick goal against Dortmund in the quarter-finals (3–2). Now, he’s eyeing a starting spot for the big showdown with his former club on Wednesday.
Severe food poisoning, not appendicitis
According to L’Équipe, Madrid feared the worst — possibly appendicitis — as the striker was rushed into tests and put on an IV. But the final diagnosis was just as alarming: severe food poisoning from undercooked chicken.
The result? Six kilos lost… and a huge effort to bounce back. A scare for Real Madrid, but Mbappé’s mental strength may have saved the day — and his Club World Cup.
