KYLIAN MBAPPE has been taken to hospital after missing Real Madrid’s opening Club World Cup clash.
The striker is suffering from acute gastroenteritis.
He is undergoing tests and treatments at a hospital, the club announced.
Mbappe, 26, was absent for Real’s 1-1 draw with Al-Hilal on Wednesday.
Symptoms of acute gastroenteritis include diarrhoea, vomiting, fever, loss of appetite and abdominal pain and cramping.
Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso was asked about Mbappe’s condition following the clash with Al-Hilal.
He responded saying: “I don’t know if Mbappé will be back for the next game. We’ll see.
“He wasn’t doing well in the last two days. He’s sick.”
The France international is now a doubt for Real’s next match on Sunday against Mexican side Pachuca.
Alonso’s side end their group campaign against RB Salzburg.
