Mbappé Out for Club World Cup Decider

News summary

Kylian Mbappé has been officially excluded from Real Madrid's squad for their decisive Club World Cup group stage match against Red Bull Salzburg in Philadelphia as he recovers from a major bout of gastroenteritis that led to a weight loss of up to five kilograms. Despite resuming training, new manager Xabi Alonso stated that Mbappé is not yet fully fit, emphasizing a cautious approach to his return and targeting possible involvement in the knockout rounds if the team advances. Real Madrid currently top Group H alongside Salzburg and require at least a draw to secure qualification for the last 16, where they may face teams like Manchester City or Juventus. Mbappé’s illness had previously resulted in hospitalization and isolation, raising concerns about his rapid weight loss and ability to regain full fitness. The team has coped in his absence, drawing with Al-Hilal and defeating Pachuca, while Salzburg must win to ensure progression. Alonso highlighted the importance of victory and continued team development as Madrid pursue their tournament ambitions.
