Kylian Mbappe discharged from hospital after gastroenteritis diagnosis

Real Madrid ace Kylian Mbappe has bounced back from a bout of "acute gastroenteritis", released from the hospital after a spell of treatment. The French international forward, aged 26, was sidelined for Wednesday's Club World Cup 1-1 draw with Al Hilal due to illness, with gaffer Xabi Alonso sharing that he had come down with a fever. The LaLiga bigwigs confirmed that Mbappe had been laid up with "an acute case of gastroenteritis" and was rushed to hospital for a thorough check-up and medical care. On Thursday, it was all thumbs up as the Spanish club announced that Mbappe had hoofed it back over to Real Madrid's training digs to kick on with getting better. 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." Los Blancos are due to play their second Group H fixture against Mexican side CF Pachuca in Charlotte on Sunday. Real Madrid are second in their group after the opening round of fixtures, two points behind Red Bull Salzburg, who beat Pachuca 2-1 in Cincinnati during the early hours of Thursday morning.
