On Thursday morning, all eyes were on Kylian Mbappé. The French star set off alarms after being admitted to a Florida hospital with a severe gastroenteritis that caused a high fever and concerned the Real Madrid medical team, who decided not to take any risks.

How did it all start?

On Wednesday, Los Blancos announced that Mbappé would miss Madrid’s Club World Cup debut due to illness. Even Federico Valverde commented that it was a bad cold that kept Kiki stuck in his hotel room.

The hospitalization that raised concern

As many wondered whether he’d be fit for Madrid’s second game of the tournament, the club released a statement confirming the striker had been hospitalized due to gastroenteritis. The club’s silence on the seriousness of the case fueled all sorts of speculation about Mbappé’s immediate future.

The medical clearance that brings relief

Finally, around midday on Thursday, the news everyone was waiting for arrived:

“Our player Kylian Mbappé was discharged from the hospital this afternoon and has rejoined Real Madrid’s training camp. Mbappé will continue with a specific medical treatment and will gradually return to team activities.”

For now, the Frenchman remains under medical supervision and will slowly reintegrate into Xabi Alonso’s squad. His absence was certainly felt in the debut against Al-Hilal, so Madrid fans are hoping he’ll be ready for Sunday’s clash against Pachuca.
