Real Madrid Star Kylian Mbappe Hospitalized With Gastroenteritis at Club World Cup
Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe has been hospitalized with an acute case of gastroenteritis, the Spanish club said Thursday. World Cup winner Mbappe missed Madrid's opening game at the Club World Cup against Saudi Arabian team Al-Hilal in Miami on Wednesday because of a fever. Coach Xabi Alonso said he hoped the France international would be available for the team's next game against Pachuca on Sunday. But Mbappe's hospitalization casts doubt over what part he might be able to play in the month-long tournament in the United States. Madrid said Mbappe would "undergo a series of tests and follow the appropriate course of treatment." Mbappe's absence is a blow to the tournament, which FIFA president Gianni Infantino hopes will be one of the elite events in soccer and rival competitions like the Champions League and Premier League in popularity and value. After Lionel Messi, Mbappe is arguably the biggest star in the show, with Madrid one of the favorites to lift the trophy in the inaugural edition of the tournament. But a crowd of more than 62,000 at Hard Rock Stadium missed out on a rare chance to see him in person in the U.S. when he was unavailable for Madrid's surprise 1-1 draw by Al-Hilal on Wednesday. Gastroenteritis is also known as stomach flu and symptoms can include vomiting and diarrhea. Mbappe's hospitalization comes almost exactly one year after he sustained a broken nose at the European Championship and had to wear a face mask to continue playing in the tournament.

Napoli are pushing to sign Lorenzo Lucca from Udinese as a new forward. Sky Italia have claimed that a contract has already been agreed and the clubs will meet with to agree on a transfer fee. Napoli have also held discussions for Liverpool's Darwin Nunez. The cooling of interest from the Serie A side has opened the door for Premier League teams in the race for David. West Ham offer on table for Jonathan David West Ham United are understood to have submitted a contract offer to the player, while Manchester United, Newcastle, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea have all been linked.

Every league has their differences. I think the Premier League is a lot faster and more physical than all the other leagues. 'But I grew up watching a lot of La Liga. I wouldn't say that would be my preferred league, but I think that's a league that I enjoyed watching the most. I think one day, I would like to play there. But will that happen? I don't know. I'm not opposed to anything, and we'll just see where the future takes us.'

Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova will retire from tennis after U.S. Open
Petra Kvitová, the two-time Wimbledon champion and former world No. 2, has announced she will retire after this year's U.S. Open. Kvitová, 35, won the Billie Jean King Cup six times with the Czech Republic and has 31 singles titles to her name. She returned to the tour in February, after a 16-month break following the birth of her first child, Petr. Wimbledon has given her a wild card for this year, and with her ranking down at No. 572, she will be reliant on one for entry into the U.S. Open and the events leading up to it. She has won one match in seven events since coming back to tennis. Advertisement 'While no such decision is ever easy to make, for me this is a happy moment!' Kvitová wrote Thursday in a post published on X. 'I will leave the sport with the biggest smile on my face — the same smile you've seen from me on and off court throughout my whole career. Through all these years, I am so incredibly thankful for the unwavering support of my family, my closest friends, my team, and all the incredible fans that have always supported me around the world over all these years.' With her swinging leftie serve and ability to get forward, Kvitová's game is perfect for grass. She won her first Wimbledon title in 2011, aged 21 — beating Maria Sharapova in straight sets in the final. Three years later she thrashed Eugenie Bouchard 6-3, 6-0 to win her second title, having only dropped one set throughout. During matches like that, Kvitová appeared unbeatable — and the expectation was that she would win many more Grand Slams. But her career was cruelly halted in December 2016 after a home invasion apartment in Prostejov, Czech Republic. Kvitová needed an emergency four-hour operation to repair damage to tendons and nerves in her left, playing hand and there were fears that she would never play again. She confounded expectations by returning five months later at the 2017 French Open, then reaching that year's U.S. Open quarterfinals as she worked her way back to the top of the sport. In January 2019, she lost a thrilling Australian Open final to Naomi Osaka, which was the closest she ever got to lifting a third Grand Slam title. Winning that match would also have made Kvitová the world No. 1, which eluded her during her peak. Advertisement Kvitová reached the semifinals at the following year's French Open, before going through a quieter period in which she didn't go beyond the fourth round of a major in three years. She went on hiatus in early 2024. 'Growing up in my hometown of Fulnek and hitting the first tennis balls with my father on the local courts, I never imagined becoming a professional tennis player, being able to travel the world, and playing in the most beautiful stadiums around the world,' Kvitová wrote Thursday. 'I could not have asked or wished for anything more — tennis has given me everything I have today, and I will continue to be forever grateful to this beautiful sport that I love.' She will be given a warm farewell at this year's Wimbledon, where she is the only multiple women's champion other than the Williams sisters since 1996. The main draw begins June 30.
