MIAMI - Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe has been discharged from hospital in the United States after suffering from gastroenteritis during the Club World Cup, the Spanish club said on June 19.
'Our player Kylian Mbappe was discharged from hospital this afternoon and has returned to Real Madrid's training ground. Mbappe will continue with specific medical treatment and will gradually return to team activity,' the club said in a statement.
Earlier on June 19, the Spanish club announced that Mbappe was admitted to hospital in order to 'undergo a series of tests and follow the appropriate course of treatment' after suffering from an 'acute case of gastroenteritis'.
Frenchman Mbappe missed Real's opening game at the Club World Cup against Al-Hilal, which ended in a 1-1 draw on June 18.
A club source told Reuters that Mbappe had been isolated from his teammates since June 17 before being taken to hospital on June 18 and is not expected to play in any of the group stage matches of the tournament.
Coach Xabi Alonso hinted on June 18 that Mbappe was doubtful for Real's next game, against Mexican side Pachuca on June 22 in Charlotte, NC. REUTERS
