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.

Liverpool starts Premier League title defense against Bournemouth while Man U hosts Arsenal
Liverpool will launch the 2025-26 Premier League season with a home match against Bournemouth to begin its title defense, while Manchester United hosts Arsenal in a marquee game elsewhere in the opening round. Liverpool will be bidding for a third league championship in six years, likely with Germany playmaker Florian Wirtz in its squad, and will play the first match of the season in a Friday night start at Anfield on Aug. 15. A tough first month for Arne Slot's champions includes matches against fellow Champions League qualifiers — Newcastle away in the second round, followed by a home match against Arsenal a week later. Arsenal, which finished second for a third straight year last season, heads to Old Trafford for its first game and will play Liverpool, Manchester City and Newcastle in its opening six matches. United will be looking to improve on its disappointing 15th-place finish last season and has a difficult start, with a Manchester derby away to City in the fourth round of games and a home match against Chelsea in the fifth round. The Premier League released its fixture schedule for the 2025-26 season on Wednesday, giving teams and their fans a chance to start planning less than a month since the last campaign finished. It was a big day for Everton, which bade farewell to its long-time home at Goodison Park at the end of last season and found out who'll be the first opponent in its new state-of-the-art, 53,000-capacity stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. That's Brighton on Aug. 23, in the second round of games. Thomas Frank 's first Premier League game in charge of Tottenham after replacing Ange Postecoglou will be at home to promoted Burnley on Aug 16. That comes three days after Frank's competitive debut with Tottenham — the Europa League champion — against Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup. Sunderland's first Premier League game since the 2016-17 season is at home to West Ham, while Leeds hosts Everton first after returning to the top flight following a two-year absence. Liverpool vs. Arsenal (weekend of Aug 30-31) Manchester City vs. Manchester United (weekend of Sept 13-14) Arsenal vs. Manchester City (weekend of Sept 20-21) Liverpool vs. Manchester United (weekend of Oct. 18-19) Manchester City vs. Liverpool (weekend of Nov. 8-9) Arsenal vs. Liverpool (midweek of Jan. 6-8) Manchester United vs. Manchester City (weekend of Jan. 17-18) Liverpool vs. Manchester City (weekend of Feb. 7-8) Manchester City vs. Arsenal (weekend of April 18-19) Manchester United vs. Liverpool (weekend of May 2-3) Manchester City and Chelsea are currently playing at the Club World Cup, which means they might be in action in the United States up to the final in mid-July. In that case, they'll have barely a month's break until the Premier League season starts. This coming season sits between the Club World Cup and the men's World Cup, also in north America, so some players will have little rest. There should be slightly less chaos for clubs during the festive period, with the Premier League ensuring no two rounds of fixtures take place within 60 hours of each other.
