Kylian Mbappé is enduring a rough start to the Club World Cup. The Real Madrid forward has been placed in isolation at the team’s Miami hotel after showing flu-like symptoms, according to Marca.
Mbappé trained once with the team before feeling unwell. He missed the official photoshoot and a team event welcoming president Florentino Pérez. Real Madrid acted swiftly, enforcing a strict health protocol to prevent any risk of contagion.
Confined to his room, on a strict diet
Sources say Mbappé remained confined to his room, with Federico Valverde confirming the striker hadn’t even stepped outside. His diet was adjusted to include only fruits and energy drinks like Aquarius, as the club’s medical staff monitored his condition closely.
No training, presence vs Al-Hilal in doubt
Although Mbappé’s condition has slightly improved, doctors opted against allowing him to train due to Miami’s sweltering heat and high humidity. Coach Xabi Alonso said the French star is “feeling a bit better,” but still not ready to return to the pitch.
Real Madrid are hoping for a quick recovery, but his participation in the match against Al-Hilal at the Hard Rock Stadium remains highly uncertain.
Madrid fans and staff alike will be keeping a close eye on the next 24 hours.
