Kylian Mbappe released from hospital, returns to Real Madrid camp after gastroenteritis ahead of Club World Cup clash
Real Madrid have confirmed that Kylian Mbappe has been discharged from the hospital in the United States after being treated for gastroenteritis. The French star had been dealing with a stomach infection and was taken in for tests during the Club World Cup trip. 'Mbappe was discharged from the hospital this afternoon and has returned to the Real Madrid training camp,' the club said in an official statement. He will now continue with specific medical treatment and gradually rejoin team activities. Kylian Mbappe's Club World Cup status still uncertain 🚨 BREAKING: Kylian Mbappé is now out of the hospital and back with Real Madrid! Mbappe missed Madrid's Club World Cup opener against Al Hilal, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Coach Xabi Alonso had said the 26-year-old striker was already 'feeling a little better' but was not fit enough to play. In Mbappe's absence, young forward Gonzalo Garcia got a rare start and scored Madrid's only goal against the Saudi side. Real's next match is against Pachuca on Sunday. There is still uncertainty around Mbappe's return timeline. If he misses that game too, he could aim to feature in the final group stage match against RB Salzburg on June 26. Mbappe joined Madrid after the Nations League campaign with France and had only one training session under Alonso before flying to the US. He scored 31 goals in La Liga last season and won the European Golden Shoe, but Real ended the campaign without a major title. The Club World Cup presents a big opportunity for Alonso to lift his first trophy as Real boss. For that, he will be hoping Mbappe's return is not too far away.

UEFA Nations League: Mbappé nets 50th goal for France in third-place match
Kylian Mbappe helped France win the Nations League third-place match as Les Bleus rallied from a lethargic start to defeat host nation Germany 2-0 in the tournament's consolation match. Aurelien Tchouameni set up Real Madrid teammate Mbappé to score his 50th international goal just before the break after Germany had dominated the first half. Mbappé set up substitute Michael Olise to seal the result in the 84th after a much-improved second-half performance from the visitors. Mbappé's 50 goals is now just behind Thierry Henry (51) and Olivier Giroud (57) in the all-time men's scoring list for France. "If you look at the first half, honestly, they were not bothered winning. But they still won," Germany captain Joshua Kimmich said. France coach Didier Deschamps had made his lack of enthusiasm for the game clear the day before, noting his team had little to gain from playing it, and it was apparent which side was more motivated in front of the Stuttgart fans. "The game is there, we'll play it," Deschamps had said. France was without injured Paris Saint-Germain stars Ousmane Dembele and Bradley Barcola. Germany missed a host of chances then had Deniz Undav's equalizer ruled out for a foul by Niclas Fullkrug in the buildup. Both sides were forced to play for the consolation prize after losing their semifinals. Germany lost 2-1 to Portugal on Wednesday before France lost 5-4 to European champion Spain on Thursday. Spain was playing Portugal later in Munich. Reporting by The Associated Press. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Florian Wirtz arrives in England for Liverpool medical ahead of £116m move
Liverpool came to a verbal agreement with Bayer Levekusen on Wednesday evening after seeing three bids turned down, with a fourth and final offer worth an initial £100m plus add-ons being accepted. He landed at Manchester Airport this afternoon, from where he will travel to Merseyside to finalise a deal, with a medical penned in for Friday. Wirtz also attracted attention from Bayern Munich but told the German champions he wanted to go to Liverpool and agreed personal terms with the club two weeks ago. The new English champions are believed to have impressed him with their plan while Manchester City, who also showed an interest, switched their focus to Tijjani Reijnders of AC Milan and Lyon's Rayan Cherki. Wirtz smashes Liverpool's transfer record as well as edging the wider British record, which is currently held by Moises Caicedo's £115m switch to Chelsea. The Reds have previously paid £75m for Virgil van Dijk and £64m, rising to £85m, for Darwin Nunez. Wirtz, who found the net for Germany against Portugal in the Nations League last week, has scored 34 goals in the last two seasons for Leverkusen, helping them win a first league title in 2023/24 across an unbeaten domestic season, when he was named the Bundesliga Player of the Year. Having always been touted as one of Germany's next big things, his supersonic rise to prominence over the past couple seasons comes after a suffering a detrimental ACL injury in 2022, which saw him out of action for 266 days. Liverpool have already signed his Leverkusen teammate Jeremie Frimpong for £29m as they begin life after Trent Alexander-Arnold. They are also in talks with Bournemouth, who want £45m for left-back Milos Kerkez, and could commit almost £200m to new signings within a few weeks.

Ireland defender Aoife Mannion makes Manchester United exit
Republic of Ireland defender Aoife Mannion has departed Manchester United after the expiration of her contract. Mannion, 29, joined the Red Devils from Manchester City in the summer of 2021. She made 55 appearances for United, though her spell there was significantly impacted by injuries. Mannion suffered a season-ending ACL injury in February 2022 during a Conti Cup semi-final clash against Chelsea. She returned to action a year later, earning a first Ireland call-up for the Marbella friendly against China. However a tweak to her knee in training ultimately cost her a place in Vera Pauw's World Cup squad. Mannion penned a new deal with United that summer and helped the side win the 2024 FA Cup, coming off the bench in the 4-0 final win against Tottenham. She started at right-back in May's FA Cup decider against Chelsea, which United lost 3-0. She's not part of the Ireland squad for next week's friendly double-header against the USA, with boss Carla Ward opting to give some of her senior players an extended summer rest. Mannion was an unused sub in the 1-0 Nations League win against Slovenia at the start of the month. On Wednesday Everton confirmed Heather Payne will leave when her contract is up in a couple of weeks. The versatile 25-year-old, who is also unavailable for the American games, has been at the Toffees since August 2023 after spending four years in the US collegiate system with Florida State Seminoles.
