Kylian Mbappe reportedly suffered considerable weight loss after a serious case of food poisoning at the club World Cup.
The Real Madrid star missed all three of their group stage matches and was admitted to the hospital after the first with gastroenteritis.
While he took off the bank in their victories over Juventus and Borussia Dortmund – indeed, a late bicycle shovel against the last one – he is now a doubt for the semi -final against his former side Paris Saint -Germain.
His recovery of food poisoning is underway and the French outlet l'Equipe has shocking details about the size of the fate of the attacker.
Mbappe felt sick on June 14, when Los Blancos flew from Spain to Miami and started to suffer from dehydration.
Although he was not in the team for their opening conflict with Al-Ahli, the club's medical staff advised that he was taken to the hospital, where he was treated for acute gastroenteritis.
The 26-year-old was put on a drop and medical exams, connected his plus a bacterium that was present in poultry.
In total it is written that Mbappe has lost six kilograms – almost one stone.
Players often strive for a very specific weight range and as such, losing a stone can throw their preparation for the season of Kilder.
Kalvin Phillips went in the other side and was publicly accused of 'overweight' by Pep Guardiola after returning to Manchester City after the World Cup 2022 – for 1.5 kg above his weight goal.
Mbappe will have time to adapt to his regular level, because Madrid will only start their LaLiga campaign against Osasuna against Osasuna on 19 August.
In fact, the side of Xabi Alonso tries to push that date back due to ensuring that their players have not had enough rest after the World Cup of Club.
Madrid has sent letters to Laliga who express their fears about the issue and the League will consider their request, according to athletics.
The Spanish players' association (the AFE) states that players are entitled to three weeks of vacation, followed by a preseason before the campaign starts, according to an agreement that will be reached in 2023.
If Real Madrid reached the final of the Club World Cup, they would play Chelsea on July 13, so that just over five weeks between the end of this tournament and the start of the LaLiga season.
When Mbappe plays against PSG, he goes Aup against the side he left last summer after seven stellar seasons – but his exit was messy.
According to L'Equipe, Mbappe has just dropped legal proceedings after submitting a legal case against PSG for alleged moral intimidation about how he was treated when he revealed that he would not sign a new deal in the summer of 2023.
As a result of his decision, PSG was desperate to sell him and then excluded him from their tour for the season that summer, instead, he forced him to train with Fringe players.
Mbappe was unhappy with this treatment and in his original accusations he hit the 'lofting' to which he was subject. Lofting is a French word that is used to describe when a player is effectively insulated and placed in a bomb team.
Although he has dropped those procedures, he is still looking for € 55 million (£ 46 million) in what he claims to be unpaid salary and bonus obligations.
PSG claimed that he agreed to abandon that amount when he left the club and had submitted a counterclaim of € 98 million (£ 84 million).
