Real Madrid star, Kylian Mbappe has returned to the club’s FIFA Club World Cup camp after he was discharged from hospital for “acute gastroenteritis”.
The 26-year-old missed Real’s opening Club World Cup match against Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal on Wednesday, with head coach Xabi Alonso revealing he had a fever.
Real Madrid later came out with a statement regarding Mbappe’s health, saying: “Our player Kylian Mbappé has acute gastroenteritis and has been hospitalized for various tests and treatment.”
Later on Thursday, the LaLiga club revealed Mbappe had been able to return to the team’s training base to continue his recovery.
A statement on Madrid’s official website said: “Our player Kylian Mbappe was discharged from the hospital this afternoon and has returned to the Real Madrid training camp.
“Mbappe will continue receiving specific medical treatment and will gradually return to team activity.”
New manager Xabi Alonso will doubtless be hoping he’ll be fit enough to play after a disappointing performance in his first game at the helm.
