Mbappe a doubt for Real's Club World Cup opener
New head coach Xabi Alonso will make his debut on the Real bench for the Group H match at Hard Rock Stadium and could be without several regulars.
Defender Antonio Rudiger and the versatile Eduardo Camavinga are also likely to miss out against the Saudi team.
"Kylian was feeling a little better this morning, but not enough. It's very hot and it was better that he didn't train. But we will wait until the last moment. Tomorrow morning we will decide," said Alonso.
"Rudiger made a brutal effort this season and I don't know if he will be called up tomorrow, but he is progressing well and will be the first to return. Camavinga is also improving quickly, but he needs time," he added.
Al Hilal will also have a new coach on the bench with Italian Simone Inzaghi having joined after leading Inter Milan to the Champions League final.
Alonso said the change of coach means that it is difficult to know what to expect from Wednesday's opponents.
"We have to prepare for the game in the best possible way. They will be a tough opponent, without a doubt. But it's time to focus on ourselves. They haven't made their debut with Inzaghi yet, so we don't know how they will play.
"We have to have hunger to win, to compete, to want to play well. We have to mix a lot of things, but that self-love, that feeling of team, that defending the badge… The team already has it, but we have to work on it. We must be a team," he said.
Alonso was asked about the right-back position where Dani Carvajal faces competition from new arrival Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has joined from Liverpool.
"It is a privilege to have such top players. Trent is more flexible in positions, but Carva has a lot of personality and competitiveness. The initial impact of Trent has been very good."
Alonso was quizzed for his opinions on several players and unsurprisingly was upbeat about his squad, suggesting that England's Jude Bellingham may be more effective in a central midfield role than in the more advanced position he has sometimes operated in.
"Jude has the ability to cover a lot of the pitch. He has the soul of a midfielder, he likes to participate, but he has the great quality to arrive. The important thing is the starting point. Finding him in the right places is going to help us because he has impressive qualities," he said.
Alonso will get a brief spell to enjoy working with Croatian midfielder Luka Modric before the 39-year-old leaves the club.
"It's easy with him. We always had a great relationship, friends and now coach-player. I like his relationship with the younger ones, he is a very good influence. We want to enjoy him in these weeks. He's a player of the era, being able to squeeze him a little more will be a luxury," he said.

Sergio Ramos gives Inter a scare in Club World Cup stalemate
Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez scored a well-worked equaliser to cancel out Ramos's opener for the Mexican side in front of 40,311 fans at the Rose Bowl. Inter, playing their first game since being thrashed 5-0 by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final, were left ruing their failure to turn their dominance of possession and territory into goals. But the draw was a boost for Ramos and Monterrey, who face Argentina's River Plate in their next game on Saturday. "When you don't get all three points you're never entirely happy," Ramos, the former Spain and Real Madrid defender, said. "But one point is better than no point. "They were a tough opponent and have just played in the final of the Champions League. We were a little bit nervous but in the second half we stayed organised and kept the ball better. "Now we need to think about the next game." Inter coach Cristian Chivu said his team had struggled to break down a Monterrey team who sat deep for long periods. "We played well in the first half even though we went behind," Chivu said. "We could have attacked better in the second half. It's not easy to play against a very low block." Chivu, in his first match in charge after the departure of Simone Inzaghi, denied the Champions League finalists had underestimated the Mexicans. "We respect every team we play and we knew what kind of team they were, we tried to do our best," he said. "Sometimes you get the best out of it, sometimes you don't. We created a lot of chances. Football's not won on paper." All Inter The Italians were in complete control almost from the kick-off, Benjamin Pavard the first to threaten with an eighth-minute shot that flew over the bar. Matteo Darmian should have done better in the 22nd minute but shot over after clever work down the left from Nicolo Barella. Yet despite the early onslaught, Inter were rocked in the 25th minute when Monterrey scored from one of their few forays into the Italians' half. Midfielder Oliver Torres swung a corner in from the right and Ramos -- who had lost Francesco Acerbi on the edge of the six-yard box -- steered his header into the bottom corner. Inter were soon back on the offensive and only a point-blank save by Monterrey goalkeeper Esteban Andrada from Sebastiano Esposito prevented an equaliser. Martinez also went close after 36 minutes, and Inter had a strong penalty appeal when Pavard's header struck Ramos on the arm inside the area. VAR found in favor of Ramos and Monterrey escaped. Three minutes later Inter drew level with a wonderfully worked free-kick routine. Albanian international Kristjan Asllani shaped to shoot from 25 yards out but instead flighted a delicate chip behind the Monterrey defence. Brazilian international Carlos Augusto timed his run to perfection and squared into the path of Martinez, who tapped in for 1-1. Monterrey almost regained the lead against the run of play on 64 minutes, Sergio Canales unleashing a low shot that cannoned off the post. Inter had a Martinez goal ruled out for offside moments later as the Italians continued to threaten. But it was Monterrey who came closest to grabbing a winner in stoppage time when Colombian midfielder Nelson Deossa got behind the Inter defence but could only shoot into the side netting.

Inzaghi defends manner of exit from Inter to Saudi club
Inzaghi takes charge of his new club for the first time on Wednesday when they face Real Madrid in the Club World Cup in Miami. Al-Hilal's chief executive officer Esteve Calzada told the BBC on Wednesday that the move had been decided before Inter's 5-0 Champions League final loss to Paris Saint-Germain. "It might look like it's something that came quickly, but it's the result of hard work particularly from our chairman, who was always very clear he would be our number one option," said Calzada. "He was playing a massive match and asked (us) to keep things aside until after the final... it was decided but not signed before the final, just because out of respect he asked us to wait, which is certainly fair enough." The Champions League final was held on May 31 and Inzaghi was announced as the Al-Hilal coach four days later. Calzada's comments prompted Italian media reports speculating whether the coach's impending move had influenced Inter's players and their performance. At the pre-match press conference, Inzaghi was asked about those reports. "Today, as has often been the case during my four years at Inter, I heard and listened to everything," said the coach. "If this (criticism) was the price I had to pay for my four years at Inter, I am happy to pay it, but it is nothing compared to the good I have received from everyone. I am talking about Inter, the fans, the management, the players and Inter," he added. "I know I will miss it, I will miss everything, even this. Even the most unfair accusations that have been made over the past four years. "But I have been really happy, I have given my all and worked closely with the club and the management. In short, I think they too, for the good of Inter, were convinced that the right thing to do was for our paths to separate, with a lot of pain on everyone's part," he said. Inzaghi defended his choice of moving from a top European club to the emerging Saudi Pro League. "I accepted the challenge and stepped out of my comfort zone after several years at Inter. I want to change my way of thinking, my style of play, and try new things. There was no other team I wanted to coach. So I chose Al Hilal," he added.

Guardiola says axed Grealish needs to get 'butterflies back in his stomach'
"Jack is an exceptional player. The only reason he didn't play last season was of course my decisions," Guardiola told reporters in Philadelphia, where City will play Wydad Casablanca in their opening game on Wednesday, without the England international winger. "We decided it was best that he stays and has a place where he can get back to what he was in the year of the treble or all his career at Aston Villa." Grealish joined City in 2021 and was a standout on their run to Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup glory in 2023. However, he started only 10 Premier League games in the following season and only 16 times across all competitions in this campaign. "Without him it would have been more difficult to achieve what we did in the treble season, but the fact is that the last two seasons he has not played much minutes," Guardiola added. "He has to get back to playing and having the butterflies in his stomach that he needs to play every three days." However, the former Barcelona coach appeared to suggest that the player's future did not necessarily lie away from the Etihad Stadium. "No, no. I don't know, but for now we decided don't come here," he said. City, who finished third in the Premier League, added four new signings in the recent transfer window to freshen up their squad for the Club World Cup. They brought in Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, exciting French creator Rayan Cherki, left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri and back-up goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli. "We are really pleased because all of them have huge quality," Guardiola said. "With this incredible amount of games we have until the end of the season, 11 months, every three or four days, everyone is going to play." Time to turn the page The last season was one of the hardest of Guardiola's coaching career and he sees the Club World Cup as the first tournament of the new campaign, and therefore a chance to turn the page. "It is the beginning of the season. In sport, what happened in the past, good or bad, is forgotten so we feel like we are starting the season," he said. City are expected to ease through to the last 16 from Group G, in which they will also meet Al Ain of the United Arab Emirates and Italian giants Juventus. First up at Lincoln Financial Field is Morocco's Wydad, a leading name in North African football who qualified for the Club World Cup as a recent winner of the CAF Champions League. "Football has grown up a lot all around the world. All these teams have individual quality," said Guardiola, refusing to take Wednesday's opponents lightly. "A good example is Riyad Mahrez from Algeria, Oh my God, what a player. They have incredible players. "We have huge, huge respect. We saw what we could see of them. We have a game plan, we are here to make a good tournament and tomorrow we start."
