Kylian Mbappé’s availability for Real Madrid’s opening match in the FIFA Club World Cup is in serious doubt after the French forward missed training due to illness.

Mbappé has been suffering from a fever since Monday and was absent from the team’s training session in Palm Beach, raising concerns over his readiness for the upcoming fixture.


Real Madrid are set to face Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal on Wednesday at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

The highly anticipated encounter marks Real Madrid’s debut in this edition of the Club World Cup, but the uncertainty surrounding Mbappé’s condition could affect Carlo Ancelotti’s plans heading into the match.

With no official update on his recovery timeline yet, a late decision is expected to be made regarding the 25-year-old’s inclusion in the matchday squad.
