Real Madrid dealt Club World Cup blow despite Kylian Mbappe leaving hospital
After spending Wednesday night in hospital, Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe has been discharged in Miami, but the French forward is far from back to full fitness yet. The 26-year-old missed out on Xabi Alonso's debut as Real Madrid manager against Al-Hilal, but seems unlikely to be back for their next game either. After missing training on Tuesday, Mbappe also could not make it back on Wednesday evening for their 1-1 draw with the Saudi Arabian giants. The following day, Real Madrid confirmed that Mbappe was in hospital undergoing tests for a case of 'accute gastroentiritis'. Now he is out of hospital, as confirmed by the club. Mbappe all but out of Pachuca clash However the latest update on his fitness is not altogether promising for Real Madrid. El Chiringuito report that Mbappe is ruled out of their game with Pachuca on Sunday at 21:00 CEST, in their second group game. They say that it could be another 10 days before Mbappe returns to full fitness. This does not mean to say that he could not return to action before that, but it does alter Alonso's plans. Their final group game comes against RB Salzburg on Friday the 27th of June at 03:00am, but depending on where they finish in their group, Mbappe would only just be returning to fitness for their Round of 16 clash, which will take place on Tuesday the first of July, at the very end of those 10 days. Image via Visionhaus Alternatives for Xabi Alonso There is not a great deal of alternatives at Alonso's disposal either. Endrick Felipe has been left in Madrid as he recovers from a muscle tear, and in the opening game, he used Gonzalo Garcia Torres up front. That move came off, with Garcia grabbing the opening goal, but Rodrygo Goes or Jude Bellingham as false nines are the only other realistic alternatives.

Palmeiras v Al Ahly Club World Cup clash suspended for weather
Staff are escorted off the field after a storm alert halted the Club World Cup match between Palmeiras and Al-Ahly in East Rutherford, New Jersey (FRANCK FIFE) The Club World Cup clash between Palmeiras and Al Ahly in Group A was suspended Thursday because of a weather warning. The Brazilian side was leading 2-0 in the 63rd minute at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, in sunny conditions when players and fans were instructed to "take shelter" because of a nearby storm. Advertisement A Wessam Abou Ali own goal sent Palmeiras ahead in the 49th minute. Flaco Lopez doubled the lead in the 59th minute. It is the third match at the tournament affected by storms at the tournament. On Tuesday, Mamelodi Sundowns' game against Ulsan HD was suspended just before kick-off for over an hour due to a weather alert. On Wednesday, RB Salzburg's match against Pachuca was suspended in the second half for 97 minutes because of a storm. Common public safety protocols in the US mandate that outdoor sports events are suspended for at least 30 minutes when lightning is seen or thunder heard. rbs/pb

Salzburg see it out
Serie A giants Juventus cruised to an opening Group G victory at Audi Field, with Kenan Yildiz completing the scoring Getty Images Getty Images We did get our finale in the second Group H game, after adverse weather delayed the second half. It was 1-0 to RB Salzburg when that happened, but Bryan Gonzalez got Pachuca back level swiftly after the restart. There was a sting in the tail for the Mexicans however, as Karim Onisiwo napped the winner some 15 minutes from time, earning the Swiss side a 2-1 win in Cincinnati. Getty Images It's been a while since Juventus had it this good. You have to go back to February 2018 for the last time they scored four goals in a first half, which was against Sassuolo. That is according to Opta. Here is that gorgeous fourth goal from Randal Kolo Muani. It will be interesting to see how Juventus handle the second half, as in truth this game is already won. HT: Al Ain 0-4 Juventus And that is half-time. Sure, it's not quite Bayern Munich vs Auckland City, but it doesn't feel far off it. Juventus have been impressive going forward, but boy have they had the freedom of Audi Field to look it. 45+4' Al Ain 0-4 Juventus Wonderful run as Randal Kolo Muani is played in behind by Khephren Thuram. Lovely ball, gorgeous first touch and an even better finish with the outside of his right foot. Juve cruising in DC. 45+1' Al Ain 0-3 Juventus A couple more flashes from Laba, which dinks a little cross into the centre that was headed clear — and saved a certain goal. The ball falls back to Laba, who turns neatly before firing low at the near post. It's a sharp effort, but also a shot you would expect Michele Di Gregorio to save. And he does. We have five added minutes to come at the end of this first half. Getty Images 41' Al Ain 0-3 Juventus As close as Al Ain have come to a goal here, as Zabala whips in a beautiful inswinging cross that just evades the waiting Laba from a few yards out. In truth though, Juventus are in total control here. 37' Al Ain 0-3 Juventus Another fluent counter as Juventus go from one end to the other. Thuram and Kelly providing a powerful threat down the left consistently. In the end, Kelly's cross scoots through the box without the final finish it deserves. But this has been pretty ugly for Al Ain so far, and it doesn't yet look like Juve are going to let up — to that point, Conceicao sees his latest shot tipped around the post by Rui Patricio. 31' Al Ain 0-3 Juventus Oh, what a lovely finish from Kenan Yildiz, driving a low shot with his right foot, in off the inside of the post. Rui Patricio with no chance to his right. Juve averaging a goal every 10 minutes here… 23' Al Ain 0-2 Juventus There is a brief VAR check over a potential handball in the build-up, which looks like when Alberto Costa is sent tumbling to the floor — it looks pretty incidental and that is the final verdict too. But it does take a bit of time, the commentary team finds out before the referee, and her mic never switches on despite her trying to announce the news. Instead, the PA confirms the goal. Anyway, all good here for Juve. 21' Al Ain 0-2 Juventus I have to say, that is terrible defending. Francisco Conceicao is allowed to dribble off the byline in the penalty box, find and angle to shoot — and then get his shot away. It deflects up and over Rui Patricio, and Juventus lead 2-0 after just 21 minutes. 17' Al Ain 0-1 Juventus We've got some proper back and forth here. Al Ain's break is unceremoniously ended by Cambiaso and that brings the second Juventus booking inside 15 minutes from referee Tori Penso. The free kick is right on the edge of the box and it causes some brief panic in the Juventus box, but they survive. They then break forward, and this is where they look so dangerous. A nice move sees Lloyd Kelly at the byline — but his cross is cleared from a few yards out. 11' Al Ain 0-1 Juventus It was patient build-up, symptomatic of this Juventus start. They look confident and engaged. Alberto Costa's swinging cross from the right was a dream — and Kolo Muani read it perfectly to meet it at full pelt and send his header into the top corner. Rui Patricio had no chance, and Al Ain will be sensing this could be a difficult evening already. 11' Al Ain 0-1 Juventus That didn't take long! Wonderfully worked opener sees Randal Kolo Muani head a fine goal to give Juve a deserved lead. Bang! 9' Al Ain 0-0 Juventus This has been a fun start. Juventus park themselves on the edge of the Al Ain penalty box and then Khephren Thuram takes a tumble in it, looking around to see if there might be a penalty in it. Appeals waved away. Then on the run, Facundo Zabala is first to fire on goal — the save is comfortable in the end, but the run was lively. 5' Al Ain 0-0 Juventus Competitive start and an early late foot from Weston McKennie on Park Yong-woo. That brings out a rapid booking, which seems a bit hard. I doubt we'll see a quicker one all tournament. He's actually going to need to be careful now for the remaining 86-plus minutes. 1' Al Ain 0-0 Juventus Here we go. The only two teams we're yet to see take to the field at this Club World Cup. The final Group G game, following Manchester City's 2-0 win over Wydad AC earlier in Philadelphia. Let's get this done… Getty Images And here's Al Ain forward Kaku getting used to the Audi Field surroundings. We're now just minutes from kick-off. Getty Images Warm-ups all done and dusted, with Juventus sporting some rather fetching pre-match tops…

Trent Alexander-Arnold makes debut as Real Madrid settle for Club World Cup draw with Al-Hilal
Gonzalo Garcia, stepping in for the fever-stricken Kylian Mbappe, gave Real an early lead with a composed finish, but Ruben Neves levelled from the spot before halftime as Simone Inzaghi's men showed defensive grit and enough attacking intent to rattle their illustrious opponents. A last-gasp missed penalty from Federico Valverde summed up a day when Real's legs, and ideas, wilted in the heat and humidity at a nearly sold-out Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. RB Salzburg and Pachuca meet in the other Group H fixture later on Wednesday. Real will next face the Mexican side on Sunday, while Al-Hilal will take on Salzburg in what could prove a decisive clash for qualification to the knockout stage. With Mbappe ruled out, it was the 21-year-old Garcia who led the line for Real and he did not disappoint, while new signing Trent Alexander-Arnold was nowhere near the level that persuaded the Spanish club to lure him from Liverpool. It was Al-Hilal, however, who burst out of the blocks, swarming around the Real penalty area with early intent � though their finishing let them down at crucial moments. In the 29th minute, Salem Al-Dawsari nearly produced a moment of magic, weaving his way into the box before Aurelien Tchouameni slid in with a crucial interception to steer the ball behind. The Saudi side thought they had taken the lead shortly after, only for their celebrations to be cut short by an offside flag. Despite the heat - and with the cheapest tickets in the stadium selling for over $160 while premium seats soared beyond $950 - a vibrant crowd kept the energy high. A much-needed 30th-minute cooling break gave Real a chance to regroup, with players draping towels over their shoulders and gulping down rehydrating drinks in the sweltering heat. The short pause worked wonders. Four minutes later, Real struck. A slick team move carved open the Al-Hilal defence, and Garcia showed composure beyond his years, delicately lifting the ball over Yassine Bounou after being teed up by Rodrygo. But Al-Hilal refused to wilt. They drew level four minutes before halftime when Ruben Neves calmly slotted home a penalty after Raul Asencio pulled back Marcos Leonardo in the area. On the stroke of halftime, Al-Dawsari went close again, firing narrowly wide after latching onto a clever pass from Sergej Milinkovic-Savic to cap another flowing Al-Hilal attack. Real stepped up a gear after the restart with substitute Arda Guler's shot crashing against the bar before Bounou made a stunning reaction save to deny Garcia. A second cooling break in the 68th minute did not refresh Real and although they continued to dominate, the Al-Hilal defence held firm.
