Real Madrid release statement on Kylian Mbappe's health condition

Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid’s star forward, has been hospitalized due to an acute case of gastroenteritis after missing his team's opening match at the Club World Cup against Al-Hilal. The French international was absent from training on Tuesday due to a fever and did not feature in the 1-1 draw against the Saudi Arabian side on Wednesday.

Real Madrid confirmed the news on Thursday, June 19, 2025, issuing a statement that Mbappé’s condition required medical attention. "Our player Kylian Mbappé is suffering from an acute case of gastroenteritis and has been admitted to hospital for tests and treatment," the club said.

Gastroenteritis, commonly known as stomach flu, is an infection affecting the digestive system, often causing symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea. It’s unclear how long Mbappé will be sidelined, and Real Madrid fans are eagerly awaiting news of his recovery.

In his first season with Real Madrid after joining from Paris Saint-Germain, Mbappé made an immediate impact, scoring 43 goals in 56 appearances across all competitions. The big question now is whether he will be fit in time for Real’s next match against Pachuca on Sunday, June 22, 2025.
