Real Madrid announced Thursday that star forward Kylian Mbappé has been hospitalized after developing acute gastroenteritis.
In an official medical statement posted on the club’s website, Real Madrid disclosed: “Our player Kylian Mbappé is suffering from an acute case of gastroenteritis and has been admitted to hospital in order to undergo a series of tests and follow the appropriate course of treatment.”
The club did not specify how long the 25-year-old French international might be sidelined, stating only that his condition continues to be monitored. The illness comes at a crucial time for Los Blancos as they prepare for upcoming fixtures in the Club World Cup.
Medical experts suggest acute gastroenteritis typically requires 2-3 days of recovery for elite athletes, though the club has not provided a timeline for Mbappé’s return to training or match availability. The former PSG striker only joined Real Madrid this summer in a blockbuster transfer.
