Kylian Mbappe back in team training ahead of RB Salzburg vs Real Madrid | OneFootball

In a major update, Real Madrid have been handed a major boost ahead of their upcoming game against RB Salzburg as key forward Kylian Mbappe is back in team training.

The 26-year-old superstar has been out of action for over a week now due to gastroenteritis which even needed him to get hospitalised briefly.

Since then, Mbappe has been recovering slowly and working by himself in the gym, doing exercises.

As a result, the France captain missed Real Madrid’s first two FIFA Club World Cup matches against Al-Hilal and Pachuca.

However, ahead of Thursday night’s game against RB Salzburg, Mbappe was back working with the rest of the Real Madrid squad today.

Whether it means that he is ready to return to action in the Merengues’ final Group H game of the Club World Cup remains to be seen.

Even if he is ready, Mbappe is unlikely to be rushed back into the starting lineup. After all, the attacker has reportedly lost around 4-5 kilos during this period.

Gonzalo Garcia is expected to hold on to his place in the team after impressing in the first two matches.

Having ended the domestic campaign with 43 goals in all competitions, Mbappe will be hoping to further boost his tally at the Club World Cup.
