Kylian Mbappe: Real Madrid forward in hospital with gastroenteritis

Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe is in hospital with gastroenteritis after missing their Club World Cup opener against Al-Hilal.

Real drew 1-1 with the Saudi side in Miami on Wednesday, with the club saying Mbappe was missing through illness.

But they said on Thursday that he has “acute gastroenteritis” and is in hospital for “various tests and treatment”.

Gastroenteritis is an infection in the gut which causes vomiting or diarrhoea.

Real’s next game is against Pachuca on Sunday at 20:00 BST.
