In the wake of the League of Nations with the French team, Kylian Mbappé is uncertain for the first Real Madrid match at the Club World Cup against Al-Hilal on Wednesday in Hard Rock Stadium, north of Miami (3 p.m. local time, 9 p.m. in France, live free on Dazn). The 26-year-old prodigy concluded the seamless season (10 goals in 6 games) before being also decisive with the Blues (a goal and a decisive pass during the 5-4 defeat against Spain, then a goal and a decisive pass for a 2-0 success against Germany).
Well present in the Merengues group installed in southern Florida, the Pichichi of La Liga and European Gold Soulier missed the training of Xabi Alonso, its new coach, this Tuesday. Mbappé would be feverish and uncertain for the entry into this international competition.
Mbappé will be able to make up for a long time against Pachuca, next Sunday, then against the Red Bull Salzburg, on June 27, in this group H of the Club World Cup. As a reminder, there are eight groups of four and the first two will be qualified for the round of 16.
Without Mbappé, with tchouameni
The first of Xabi Alonso at the head of Real will be particularly interesting to follow with the beginnings of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen, respectively on the right side of the defense and in central hinge (probably with Raul Asecio). Aurélien Tchouamed is announced holder. In attack, Rodrygo and Brahim Diaz could take advantage of Mbappé's state of health. Endrick, victim of a muscle injury, remained in the Spanish capital.
On the Al-Hilal side, the team is of high quality with Yassine Bounou, Kalidou Koulibaly, Joao Cancelo, Renan Lodi, Ruben Neves, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Malcom and Aleksandar Mitrovic in the workforce now led by Simone Inzaghi, just recruited at Inter Milan.
