Mbappé isn't getting better and ends up in the hospital, the Frenchman's health is a concern.

Xabi Alonso's problems are piling up for this first phase of the Club World Cup after its debut. The 1-1 draw and the feelings shown weren't the most positive. In addition, it has to add the situation with Mbappé, who has ended up in the hospital.

According to a statement released by Real Madrid, Mbappé is experiencing an acute case of gastroenteritis. In fact, he's been hospitalized to undergo different tests and receive the corresponding treatment. Therefore, his presence on Sunday against Pachuca seems quite unlikely.

It's important to remember that Mbappé wasn't in the first Club World Cup match this Wednesday against Al Hilal. He wasn't even on the bench, since they preferred he stay at the hotel resting. It seems that things have gotten worse over the course of this last night.

That's why they've decided to go to the hospital to try to find a solution to what's happening. The main goal is for him to recover one hundred percent after suffering this setback. Until now, he had been confined to his room, except to go to the hospital.

His presence against Pachuca is ruled out

It doesn't seem like Mbappé will have a miraculous recovery in the coming days. It's Thursday and this coming Saturday the second Club World Cup match will be played against Pachuca. It's a match for which Kylian would be ruled out, given the situation he's in.

It's important to take into account the conditions in which the matches are being played in the World Cup. Real Madrid will face the Mexicans at 3:00 p.m. local time, with a temperature of 95°F (35°C) and 70 percent humidity. This won't speed up Mbappé's recovery and suggests that taking risks isn't advisable.

We'll see if Xabi Alonso repeats and bets again on Gonzalo as the starting striker. Güler or Brahim could also have their opportunities if the Basque coach needs them. A replacement for Kylian must be found.
