Real Madrid got their campaign at the Club World Cup up-and-running yesterday evening.
After making the trip to the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, the capital giants were forced to settle for a disappointing share of the spoils, owing to a 1-1 draw.
The aforementioned Mbappé, for his part, was sorely missed by his teammates, who at times lacked a cutting edge in the final third.
The 26-year-old was ruled out of the fixture after being struck down by a bout of illness this week.
Speaking to the media on the back of the full-time whistle in Florida, the subject of Mbappé's wellbeing was, in turn, put to manager Xabi Alonso.
And the Spanish tactician went on to admit:
'I don't know if Mbappé will be back for the next game. We'll see. He wasn't doing well in the last two days. He's sick.'
