Real Madrid will bow CEST in the club World Cup on Wednesday evening at 9:00 PM, in a match full of strangers for Los Blancos. The newest is Star Striker Kylian Mbappe, who is late doubt for the game.
The French superstar missed the last training session of Real Madrid prior to their match against Al-Hilal, as reported by Diario ALS. The 26-year-old attacker trained on Monday as normal, but by the time he arrived at the hotel, he felt under the weather. Real Madrid's medical staff found that he had a fever and Mbappe was absent in their last training session for their first game in Miami. They say he is not excluded from the competition, but he is considered a 'serious doubt'.
Mbappe would also lead the line in the management debut of Xabi Alonso, but a decision will be made on Wednesday during the day, depending on how he feels. The idea was that Mbappe in front would start with Vinicius Junior, but now he will be forced to consider other alternatives, with Endrick Felipe also injured. Rodrygo goes or Gonzalo Garcia Torres from Real Madrid Castilla are the most natural alternatives for the supposed 4-4-2 that Alonso wanted to use.
It is not exactly clear whether Antonio Rudiger, Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal are suitable to return to action after a long absence for the last two. What seems certain is that Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen will get their competitive debut in the rear four. Raul Asencio and Fran Garcia are the favorites to accompany them. Alonso will hope for a positive start while he expands his stall.
