Ace's sudden absence was due to acute gastroenteritis.

Coach Sabi Alonso failed to sound the winning record in his official debut at the helm of Real Madrid. This is because the ace, who had to score a goal, suddenly fell ill and was unable to play in the game. Real Madrid's leading goaltender Kylian Mbappe has had acute gastroenteritis.

Ace's sudden absence was due to acute gastroenteritis.

Coach Xavi Alonso failed to sound the winning record in his official debut at the helm of Real Madrid. This is because the ace, who had to score a goal, suddenly fell ill and was unable to play in the game. Real Madrid's leading goaltender Kylian Mbappe has had acute gastroenteritis. It is unclear when he will return because his condition is not light. From director Alonso's point of view, it seems that it is twisted somewhere from the beginning.

British media Daily Star reported on the 19th (Korea time) 'Mbappe was taken to the hospital after missing the opening match of the Club World Cup, and the Real club announced its official position on this'

Real played its first Group H match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami earlier in the day. The opponent was Saudi Arabia's al-Hilal. Objective power or Real's victory was expected. However, there was an unexpected result. The two teams drew 1–1. His performance was so tight that it was difficult to distinguish the superiority and inferiority.

Al Hilal's power exceeded expectations, but Real was also not the best. This is because Mbappe, the team's leading goal scorer, was unable to play on the day. In the end, Real failed to make a decisive hit as a strong striker who had to score a goal fell out. It was Alonso's Real debut, but the result was a draw.

The reason why Mumabe was absent was revealed after the game. The Daily Star reports that the Real club has issued a statement on its official website regarding the reasons for Mbappe's absence. The reason for the absence revealed by the club was 'Acute Gastroenteritis'.

The Real club said 'Mbappe was taken to hospital after the Al Hilal match because of acute gastroenteritis, and hospitalized for various tests and treatments' It is known that the situation is not very good.

The Daily Star said 'Mbappe originally trained with his teammates in Florida last Sunday ahead of the Al Hilal match. But he missed Tuesday's team training session, he said.

In fact, after training without Mbappe, Alonso said 'Mbappe's physical condition has improved a little, but it's not enough yet' and 'It may be better not to train at all now. I'll wait until the last minute and decide whether to play or not.'"

In the end, however, Mbappe did not return. It seems that he was unable to make himself in condition to play due to acute gastroenteritis. If you get acute gastroenteritis accompanied by vomiting, diarrhea, and fever, it is not easy to boost your condition quickly. Without Mbappe, Real sent out Hodrigo, Garcia and Vinicius Jr. before Al Hilal, but scored only one goal. In the 34th minute of the first half, Garcia received Hodrigo's pass and shook the Al Hilal net with a right-footed shot.

But the lead didn't last long. Immediately Al Hilal scored a comeback. In the 41st minute of the first half, Asensio's foul declared a penalty, and Ben Neves, who played as an Al Hilal kicker, equalized. Since then, the two teams have continued their tight flow in pursuit of the winning goal, but no goals have been scored in the end. It was a game where Mbappe's absence was felt greatly.

Mbappe, who was released by PSG as a free agent last summer, appeared in 56 games and scored 43 goals in all competitions in the 2024-2025 season, his first season with Real. In name and reality, he is Real's leading goal scorer and winning troubleshooter. Real's power plummeted when Mbappe fell out. In the end, Alonso had to postpone his first win after his debut.

But there is a bigger problem. The question is whether Mbappe will be able to return during this tournament. Real are scheduled to play the second group qualifying match against Pachuca, Mexico, on the 23rd, and the third match against RB Salzburg on the 28th. It's a tight schedule. If the symptoms of acute gastroenteritis do not improve well or Mbappe's condition recovers slowly, he may not be able to come out of the group qualifying round at all.

In this regard, the Daily Star said 'Acute gastroenteritis is an intestinal infection disease that causes vomiting or diarrhea, and it is still unclear whether Mbappe will recover enough to compete in the group stage. This means that there is a possibility that Mbappe may skip the entire group qualifying round.

Attention is focusing on whether Alonso, who has met with bad news since his debut in Real, will overcome this problem. In addition, whether Mbappe will recover is of great interest. Will Mbappe be able to play in the Club World Cup.
