Overview

• Kylian Mbappé remains doubtful for Sunday’s Club World Cup fixture after being discharged from hospital and continuing treatment for acute gastroenteritis.
• Gonzalo García is expected to start up front in place of Mbappé following his goal against Al Hilal in Madrid’s opening 1-1 draw.
• Antonio Rüdiger has returned to full training and could strengthen the defence for the first time since his April knee surgery.
• The opening draw with Al Hilal has increased pressure on Real Madrid to beat Pachuca to maintain their bid for the knockout stage.
• The final group match against Red Bull Salzburg on June 27 presents the earliest opportunity for Mbappé to return, pending his recovery progress.
