Real Madrid Confidencial La SER announces if Mbappé will play against Pachuca, it's now official and it's surprising
He has already been discharged from the hospital and is continuing his recovery process after gastroenteritis
Mbappé has been the negative note for Real Madrid, beyond the 1-1 draw against Al Hilal. He couldn't be with his teammates and, in fact, he ended up in the hospital this Thursday. The acute gastroenteritis he's suffering from led him to be admitted for a few hours.
Now that he's been discharged from the hospital, many have wondered when he'll be able to return to the field. SER has confirmed that Mbappé is ruled out for this Sunday against Pachuca. It's clear that he's still not recovered and they're not going to want to push him.
However, there had been speculation that he could be available for the next match, the last of the group stage. The aforementioned outlet casts doubt on Mbappé's presence against Salzburg. As of today, it's a big question whether the Frenchman will be able to be on the field for that match.
It's important to keep in mind that the temperature they're enduring in the United States is high (elevada). On top of that, there's a high level of humidity, so the risk of injury increases. Therefore, they won't want to push Mbappé at all since it could be dangerous.
Xabi Alonso hopes to recover players in the coming days
With Mbappé, Xabi Alonso already knows it won't be easy to count on him possibly until the round of 16. Although his presence against Salzburg isn't ruled out, it's still a big question. Little by little, he is starting to receive good news with the injured players who are recovering.
Rüdiger already seems to be in top form and has told the Basque coach that he's ready to play. In fact, several outlets have indicated that he'll be in the starting line-up to face Pachuca this Sunday. He would fill the spot in the backline that Asencio will leave after his mistake against Al Hilal.
Camavinga has also brought good news in the latest training sessions. We've already seen him complete part of the session with his teammates. So he could also be in the line-up in the coming days, although without rushing things.
