Kylian Mbappe is preparing for his former club Paris Saint-Germain for the first time tonight, where the 26-year-old did not play against the French giants since he was a teenager for as Monaco. Few would have predicted that if he did, there would be doubt about whether he would start for Real Madrid.
This is due to a serious stomach problem that Mbappe was low and causes a fever for the best part of the week. On the opening evening of the tournament for Real Madrid, Mbappe was in a hospital bed when his teammates pulled 1-1 with Al-Hilal. Los Blancos has taken it slowly with Mbappe, which appeared in the last two games, and scored the winner against Borussia Dortmund.
Both performances were from the bank, and with Gonzalo Garcia Torres in fine shape, which leads the score cards, there is some doubt about whether Mbappe will return to the starting XI in its place.
The 26-year-old struggled considerably with the stomach problem and missed all the group games of Los Blancos in the US. It was reported that he lost six kilograms during the disease, and a visible difference was clear in his muscle mass.
According to L'Equipe, as quoted by Diario As, Mbappe already felt unwell when he went on board an airplane to Miami and when he arrived, she was laid low with a fever. That was on a Monday, but he trained Tuesday, then he was bed bound by the aforementioned fever. The club announced that he had welcomed gastro -tiritis, so he spent the night in the hospital. The problem was caused by bacteria found in poultry, which was attributed to what chicken that Mbappe had eaten before the USA trip.
The big question will be for Xabi Alonso, because he decides whether he should start Mbappe against his earlier side on Wednesday in the semi -final of the club World Cup. It was eight days since he returned to action, and he seems to be perfectly fit.
Yet Garcia has earned his shot and is the most important scorer in the competition. If Alonso drops Garcia and things go wrong, then he will undoubtedly be criticized because he tinker with an setup that worked for Prestige.
