(The Post News)- Real Madrid have confirmed that the French forward Kylian Mbappé has been hospitalized after being diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis. The 26-year-old was admitted earlier today and is currently undergoing a series of medical tests and receiving treatment under the supervision of the club’s medical team.
In an official statement, the club said, “Real Madrid C.F. can confirm that Kylian Mbappé has been diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis. The player has been admitted to a local hospital for observation and treatment. His condition is stable, and further updates will be provided as appropriate.”
Mbappé, who officially joined Los Blancos this summer after a long-anticipated move from Paris Saint-Germain, had been training with the squad ahead of pre-season commitments. His sudden illness sparked concern after he missed a scheduled media appearance and an opening FIFA Club World Cup game, on Wednesday. He was not seen at the club’s Valdebebas training complex. Sources close to the club indicated that Mbappé began experiencing symptoms overnight, including severe stomach pain and dehydration.
While the situation is not believed to be serious, his hospitalization is considered a precautionary measure to ensure a full and swift recovery. The timing of the illness comes just weeks before Real Madrid are set to travel for their second CWC game, in the United States. It remains unclear whether Mbappé’s condition will affect his availability for the rest of the matches.
Fans across Spain and France have taken to social media to wish the forward a speedy recovery. The French Football Federation also released a brief statement, expressing support and confidence in the player’s return to full health. Mbappé’s arrival at Real Madrid marks a new era for the club, and his health will be closely monitored not only by Madridistas but by football followers worldwide.
