Kylian Mbappé's American trip is turning into a nightmare. Coming to compete in the club World Cup with Real Madrid, the tricolor striker has been the victim for several days of acute gastroenteritis which leaves him little respite. As a result, he missed the first match of his family (1-1 against al-Hilal) and will also have to follow the second in front of his screen. His package for the Sunday meeting against Pachuca was made.
As Real Madrid confirmed this Saturday, the Bondynois health state has not improved enough. Isolated by the rest of its partners and even hospitalized this week, Kylian Mbappé did not take part in the collective training session of the day. He will be absent to face the Mexican Pachuca club near Charlotte (9 p.m.).
A very bad news for him and for his team who did not shine for his entry into the competition. Real is currently second in its group after the first day, two points behind a Salzburg RB which won against Pachuca (1-2). A priori, Madrid should also be able to win against Mexicans but the absence of Kylian Mbappé will necessarily be a handicap.
Mbappé also too fair for the third match?
The qualification for the next round, and especially the place for first place in group H, should be played on June 27 between Salzburg and Madrid who will compete directly (3:00). Al-Hilal will also have a say. Suffice to say that uncertainty remains more present than ever around the Merengue of Xabi Alonso.
As for Kylian Mbappé, will he be presented in time and will he especially have enough energy to help his family during this famous third and last match of the first phase of the World Cup? It is still too early to say, but the signals are not famous.
