Overview

  • Mbappé resumed full training with the squad on June 25 after being hospitalized on June 19 for acute gastroenteritis treatment.
  • He missed Real Madrid’s opening Club World Cup games—a 1-1 draw with Al-Hilal and a 3-1 victory over Pachuca—while undergoing tests and recovery.
  • Spanish reports suggest he lost four to five kilograms during his illness, necessitating a gradual reintegration into team drills.
  • The club will announce by Wednesday evening whether he will travel with the squad to Philadelphia for the Group H finale against RB Salzburg.
  • A draw will guarantee their progression to the round of 16, while a win would secure Real Madrid’s place as Group H winners.
