Kylian Mbappé is suffering from a virus and may miss Real Madrid’s opening Club World Cup match against Al-Hilal. A tough start for new coach Xabi Alonso.
Illness hits at the worst time : Mbappé didn’t train on Tuesday due to flu-like symptoms, casting doubt on his availability for Wednesday’s match. Just a day earlier, he had completed training normally, but began feeling unwell upon returning to the team hotel, with fever and fatigue reported.
Xabi Alonso’s first test — without his star?
For Xabi Alonso, who is set to make his official debut as Real Madrid manager, the possible absence of Mbappé is a major headache. With 43 goals in 56 matches this season, the French striker is central to Madrid’s attacking plan — and now Alonso may have to adapt fast.“
