Mbappe causes concern

Mbappe was absent in the match against Salzburg.

Mbappe just completed the next training session with Real Madrid on June 25. However, coach Xabi Alonso decided to remove the French striker from the list of players to play against Salzburg. Instead, he put his faith in Vinícius Junior, Rodrygo and young striker Gonzalo García.

Mbappe was hospitalized on the day of Real Madrid's opening match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup™ against Al Hilal, where he was diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis. After being discharged, Mbappe returned to the team hotel but was forced to isolate himself from his teammates to avoid spreading the infection.

Earlier this week, Mbappe started training again and is working hard to integrate with the Real Madrid team. However, the French captain's health is still heavily affected by the disease. Spanish newspaper Marca said that Mbappe has lost 4-5 kg due to the virus, causing his physical condition to decline and not ensuring he is fit to compete.

Fans are very worried about Mbappe's health. One fan wrote on social media: "He really needs to rest." While another expressed: "It's obvious, let him have time to fully recover."

Mbappe is a key figure in Real Madrid's squad, with 43 goals in 56 appearances in the 2024/25 season.

To guarantee their place in the next round, Real need to avoid defeat against Salzburg. If they lose, their fate will depend on the result of Al Hilal's match against Pachuca. As long as Al Hilal do not win, coach Xabi Alonso's team will still advance to the knockout round.

Real Madrid won the first match at the FIFA Club World Cup. In the early morning of June 23, Real defeated Pachuca 3-1 in the second match, Group F of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.
