Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe hospitalized with gastroenteritis at Club World Cup

MIAMI: Kylian Mbappe has been hospitalized with an acute case of gastroenteritis to add to a difficult start for Real Madrid at the Club World Cup.
World Cup winner Mbappe missed the Spanish giant's opening game of the tournament on Wednesday — a surprise 1-1 draw against Saudi Arabian team Al Hilal in Miami — because of a fever.
Coach Xabi Alonso said the France international was in 'rough shape' and hadn't been able to train for days. His hospitalization now casts doubt over what part he might be able to play in the monthlong tournament in the United States, with Madrid facing Pachuca in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sunday.
Madrid said Mbappe would "undergo a series of tests and follow the appropriate course of treatment.'
Gastroenteritis is also known as stomach flu and symptoms can include vomiting and diarrhea.
Mbappe's absence is a blow to the Club World Cup, which FIFA president Gianni Infantino hopes will be one of the elite events in soccer and rival competitions like the Champions League and Premier League in popularity and value.
After Lionel Messi, Mbappe is arguably the biggest star in the show, with Madrid one of the favorites to lift the trophy in the inaugural edition of the tournament.

Mbappe discharged from hospital — Will the Real Madrid star play in FIFA Club World Cup 2025?

Kylian Mbappe was discharged from the hospital on Thursday after an acute case of gastroenteritis. It remains unclear when he will return to action for Real Madrid at the Club World Cup. Mbappe missed Madrid's opening match of the tournament — a 1-1 draw against Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal in Miami — due to a fever. Manager Xabi Alonso said the France international was in 'rough shape' and had been unable to train for days. His illness has cast doubt on what role he can play in the month-long tournament in the United States. Madrid next faces Pachuca in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sunday. 'Mbappe will continue with specific medical treatment and will gradually return to the team's activity,' Madrid said in a statement. Mbappe's stats at Real Madrid Matches: 56 Goals: 43 Assists: 5 Trophies: 2 - UEFA Super Cup (2024-25), FIFA Intercontinental Cup (2024-25) Gastroenteritis, also known as stomach flu, can cause symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhoea. Mbappe's absence is a blow to the Club World Cup, which FIFA president Gianni Infantino hopes will become one of football's elite events, rivaling competitions like the Champions League and Premier League in popularity and value. The 26-year-old was Madrid's top scorer last season, netting 43 goals in 56 appearances in his debut year after joining from Paris Saint-Germain. His hospitalisation comes almost exactly one year after he sustained a broken nose at the European Championship and had to wear a face mask to continue playing.

WATCH: Lionel Messi Turns Back The Clock With Scintillating Freekick At FIFA Club World Cup

Last Updated: Lionel Messi's freekick secured Inter Miami's 2-1 win over Porto at the FIFA Club World Cup, marking the first competitive victory for an MLS team over European opposition. Class is permanent and timeless. And Inter Miami's Lionel Messi proved it yet again, as the Argentine curled in a peach of a freekick to score the winner for Inter Miami in their 2-1 upset of Porto at the FIFA Club World Cup on Thursday. The World Cup-winning Argentine, who has made scoring freekicks his bread and butter, wound the clock back to produce yet another magical moment and seal the unexpected win for the MLS team, significantly boosting their chances of advancing from Group A. Messi's goal, which turned out to be the difference maker, marked the first competitive victory for an MLS side over European opposition, following Chelsea's win over Los Angeles FC earlier in the week. 'It's a huge joy, the whole team made a big effort, we worked really well," Messi told DAZN. 'It's a really important win for us and we have to enjoy it. You can see that we want to compete, and today we competed against a really good European team. We knew that today we were weaker, but we had our strengths." Inter Miami and Palmeiras each have four points, following the Brazilian side's 2-0 win over Al Ahly earlier. Al Ahly and Porto both have one point. '(Messi) is a leader, he's the greatest player in the world," Inter Miami forward Fafa Picault told DAZN. Following Messi's tiebreaker, Inter Miami fought hard during stoppage time to keep Porto at bay, as Mascherano's players threw themselves in front of shots in a manner reminiscent of the former Argentine defensive midfielder, ultimately securing their much-desired victory. 'Beyond his goal… he's a player who shows us how to compete, his hunger, his desire to continue competing at whatever level it is," Mascherano told reporters. 'In a footballing sense, what else is there to say? He's the best player that has played this sport in its history, but what is surprising is his will to win. 'Today, even in the last minutes, tired, with a knock, he kept helping the team in any way he could, in attack, in defence, to get the result… 'We know having him gives us an advantage, but above all, through his contagious spirit, the winning spirit that he has."
