Mbappe Discharged From Hospital After Gastroenteritis Treatment

Real Madrid face CF Pachuca in the Club World Cup group stages this evening with the aim of getting a first win on the board following a 1-1 draw with Al-Hilal in their tournament opener.

Trent Alexander-Arnold made his debut for the club in that previous match but has yet to settle into the rhythm desired but new head coach Xabi Alonso and will hope to impress in tonight’s match instead.

However, key striker Kylian Mbappe will miss the match due to gastroenteritis after the Frenchman was hospitalised ahead of the draw with Al-Hilal. He is out of hospital now but still needs time to fully recover before he can play an active role in Madrid’s campaign.

This match is also crucial for Pachuca who are on the verge of an early exit following a 2-1 defeat to RB Salzburg on Wednesday. The Mexican club finished eighth in Liga MX this season and should pose no trouble to Los Blancos who will hope to settle into Alonso’s style as soon as possible.

And Stones, 31, is about to enter the last year of his contract, having only started six Premier League games in an injury-hit campaign.
