Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé has been discharged from hospital following treatment for an acute case of gastroenteritis, the club announced on Thursday.
Earlier in the day, the Spanish giants confirmed that the 26-year-old had been admitted to hospital after falling ill with a severe bout of gastroenteritis. The club stated that he would undergo medical evaluation and receive the appropriate treatment.
Later, Real Madrid issued an update confirming that Mbappé had been released from hospital and had returned to the team’s training base in Palm Beach. He will continue with targeted medical treatment and will gradually reintegrate into team activities.
Gastroenteritis, an infection of the intestines, typically causes symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain or cramps, nausea, vomiting, and sometimes fever, according to the U.S. National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
Mbappé missed Real Madrid’s opening match at the FIFA Club World Cup on Tuesday in Miami, where the team drew 1-1 with Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal.
Real’s next fixture in the tournament is scheduled for Sunday against Mexican side Pachuca in Charlotte, North Carolina. They will conclude the group stage with a match against Austria’s Salzburg on June 26 in Philadelphia.
The ongoing Club World Cup marks Real Madrid’s first tournament under new head coach Xabi Alonso, who succeeded Carlo Ancelotti at the end of last season.
In his debut season with Los Blancos, Mbappé had an outstanding campaign, scoring 43 goals in 56 appearances. He played a key role in helping the club secure both the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup. He also claimed the European Golden Boot as the continent’s top scorer. However, Madrid narrowly missed out on the La Liga title by four points and were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League in the quarterfinals by Arsenal.
