Kylian Mbappé released from hospital after being treated for gastroenteritis

Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé has been released from hospital after being treated for gastroenteritis, the club announced on Thursday.
Real Madrid had said earlier on Thursday that the 26-year-old had been admitted to hospital after suffering from 'an acute case of gastroenteritis.'

The Spanish club said he would undergo tests and 'follow the appropriate course of treatment.'
Later in the day, Los Blancos said that Mbappé had left hospital and returned to the team's training complex in Palm Beach where he would 'continue with specific medical treatment and will gradually return to team activity.'
Gastroenteritis is an infection of the intestines that can cause diarrhea, pain or cramping in your abdomen, nausea or vomiting, and sometimes fever, as described by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
Mbappé missed Real Madrid's opening game at the FIFA Club World Cup on Tuesday in Miami where it drew 1-1 with Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia.

Real's next game at the tournament is against Mexican side, Pachuca, on Sunday in Charlotte, North Carolina. Its final group game is against Salzburg on June 26 in Philadelphia.
The Club World Cup is Real's first competition under new head coach Xabi Alonso who replaced Carlo Ancelotti at the end of the season.
In Mbappé's debut campaign with Real Madrid last season, the French captain scored 43 goals in 56 matches, winning the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup along the way – as well as the European Golden Boot as Europe's top scorer – but missed out on the La Liga title by four points and was knocked of the Champions League by Arsenal in the quarterfinals.

Liverpool bank on ‘world-class' Wirtz after record deal

The golden boy of German football is set to become the new prince of the Premier League after Florian Wirtz joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen for a club-record fee. Fresh from winning a 20th English top-flight title, Arne Slot's Reds have broken the bank to land a rising star already labelled as one of the world's best by former Reds midfielder and Wirtz's former coach Xabi Alonso. British media reported on Friday that the Premier League champions had agreed a deal worth up to £116 million ($157 million) to secure the services of the attacking midfielder. German reports claim the fee is even higher, starting at 130 million euros (£111 million, $149 million) and increasing with add-ons to 150 million euros. Wirtz's abundant potential as a teenager sparked a row between his hometown club Cologne and Leverkusen five years ago when Leverkusen, who are backed by pharmaceutical giants Bayer, swooped to sign him at 17. Cologne argued that a gentleman's agreement not to poach youth team players had been violated, but Leverkusen said Wirtz was a first-team signing, and within months, he had made his Bundesliga debut. His rise was interrupted by a cruciate knee ligament injury in March 2022 that forced him to miss the next 10 months. By the time he returned, Alonso had been installed as Leverkusen boss, and together, they would spearhead the club's greatest days. Leverkusen ended Bayern Munich's dominance of the Bundesliga in stunning fashion, romping to the title and the German Cup without losing a single match in the 2023/24 season. Officially a Red ✍️ — Liverpool FC (@LFC) June 20, 2025 Wirtz netted his first career hat-trick on the day the title was sealed against Werder Bremen, on his way to being crowned Bundesliga player of the year. 'Flo is one of the top players in the world; he's world-class,' said Real Madrid coach Alonso, who compared his protege to Lionel Messi in terms of his understanding of the game. 'Why is Messi so good? Because he knows how and when to play simple passes. Messi says: 'You're in a better position? Here, there you have the ball',' added Alonso, a hero of Liverpool's 2005 Champions League triumph. 'It's not always about making the most brilliant move, but the best and smartest. Florian can do that. That's why he's so good.' Both star player and coach committed to staying with the Leverkusen project for another 12 months, but defeat in the Europa League final to Atalanta to round off the 2023/24 campaign was a sign of things to come. Bayern restored their grip on the German game last season but could not convince Wirtz to follow the lead of many others in joining from their Bundesliga rivals. Instead, he made it clear that his preference was to move to the Premier League champions and to have the chance to add his name to Liverpool's cast of legends. 'I'm really excited to have a new adventure in front of me. This was also a big point of my thoughts: that I want to have something completely new, to go out of the Bundesliga and to join the Premier League,' said Wirtz. 'I spoke also with some players who played there and they told me that it's perfect for me and every pitch is perfect, you can enjoy every game. I'm really looking forward to playing my first game.' Despite 57 goals and 65 assists in 197 games for Leverkusen, Wirtz will begin life at Anfield in the shadow of Mohamed Salah. But the Reds are banking on Wirtz's creativity to help maintain the 32-year-old's prolific goalscoring numbers and ease the burden of carrying the Liverpool attack. The club's previous record signing, £85 million recruit Darwin Nunez, has failed to deliver and could be sold to help recoup some of their major outlay on new faces. Liverpool will hope Wirtz can handle the pressure of his price tag and the physicality of the Premier League to ensure there is no second season slump under Slot.

Wisconsin's tampering lawsuit against Miami, explained

College football's rules regarding tampering and the transfer portal are set to see their first major legal challenge. The University of Wisconsin, along with its NIL collective, has filed a lawsuit in state circuit court against the University of Miami (Florida) alleging "tortious interference," according to court documents obtained by Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger. Advertisement The lawsuit stems from the departure of freshman defensive back Xavier Lucas, who attempted to transfer to Miami in January following the 2024 season but was blocked from entering the portal by the Badgers. He ultimately enrolled in Coral Gables for the spring semester. Wisconsin's legal challenge is the first of its kind and could be a major precedent-setter for how transfer situations will be handled when college sports enters the revenue-sharing era on July 1, following the approval of the House v. NCAA settlement earlier this month. Here's a full rundown of the wrongdoing Wisconsin is alleging and what it could mean for the future of college sports. Who is Xavier Lucas? A four-star recruit in the 2024 class from high school football powerhouse American Heritage in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Lucas signed with the Badgers out of high school and appeared in 11 games with one start as a true freshman in Madison last fall. He totaled 18 tackles, a tackle for loss, an interception and three pass breakups in 2024. Why did Wisconsin block Lucas from transferring to Miami? Lucas' attempt to transfer to Miami in the spring was complicated by the fact that he had already inked a two-year revenue-sharing agreement with Wisconsin ahead of the anticipated approval of the House settlement. The Badgers used that contract to block Lucas from entering the portal. Advertisement However, that didn't stop him from seeking a transfer, and he ultimately unenrolled from Wisconsin in January after the transfer portal closed and signed up for classes at Miami. As of publication, there has not been an NCAA ruling regarding his eligibility in 2025, with the association stating in January that he did not violate any rules, and he is expected to suit up for the Hurricanes this fall. Lucas' attorney, Darren Heitner, said at the time that any attempt to prevent Lucas from playing this season would be met with an antitrust lawsuit of their own. Lucas' attorney, Darren Heitner, told Yahoo Sports in January that he planned to file an antitrust lawsuit against Wisconsin if Lucas was unable to complete his move to Miami. He accused Wisconsin of blatantly violating NCAA rules by not inserting Lucas' name into the portal as he requested and questioning the legality of the NCAA's transfer portal in general. According to Heitner, Lucas requested a transfer from Wisconsin after learning that his father had contracted a "serious, life-threatening illness" after returning home to Florida for winter break. What is Wisconsin seeking from the lawsuit? At the most basic level, the Badgers' lawsuit centers around one of the most contentious topics in college sports at the moment: tampering. Under NCAA rules, schools are not permitted to contact players on other teams' rosters until they officially enter the transfer portal. Advertisement However, it's an open secret that contact often happens well before players officially opt to transfer, especially when they choose to do so with the eyebrow-raising "do not contact" tag. Wisconsin alleges that Miami violated NCAA rules by having impermissible contact with Lucas despite its knowledge that he had entered into a revenue-sharing agreement with the school that included anti-tampering language. The university said it filed the lawsuit "reluctantly" due to its commitment to "ensuring integrity and fundamental fairness in the evolving landscape of college athletics." The Badgers are not filing any lawsuits against Lucas, and they are seeking "unspecified damages, transparency and accountability" from Miami. It's unclear what a ruling against the Hurricanes would mean for Lucas' football-playing future. 'We stand by our position that respecting and enforcing contractual obligations is essential to maintaining a level playing field,' the Big Ten said in a statement of support for the Badgers. 'In addition to our legal action, we will continue to be proactive to protect the interests of our student-athletes, our program and the broader collegiate athletics community.' What could this mean for the future of college sports? At its heart, Wisconsin's lawsuit tests schools' ability to enforce anti-tampering elements of revenue-sharing agreements, a key element of the House settlement aimed at ending the perceived free-for-all when it comes to the transfer portal and player compensation. Advertisement Should the courts rule in favor of the Hurricanes, it would provide a critical blow to the settlement, which is already facing legal backlash on Title IX grounds. The lawsuit will also help establish the credibility of the transfer portal. Since the NCAA has stated that there are currently no rules against players unenrolling from their current school and re-enrolling at a new one without entering the portal, its legitimacy could hinge on the success of Wisconsin's suit. There are a lot of moving parts in college sports at the moment, and the House settlement has only complicated matters. Whether that settlement can operate as designed could largely depend on the success of Wisconsin's lawsuit.
