Mbappe admitted to hospital amid Club World Cup
Kylian Mbappe missed Real Madrid's Club World Cup opener on Wednesday, with the club revealing that he has been admitted to hospital with a case of gastroenteritis.
Mbappe had missed training a day earlier and was not in the squad for the 1-1 draw with Al-Hilal the next day.
Madrid subsequently announced on that Mbappe has been "admitted to hospital in order to undergo a series of tests".
The Frenchman has enjoyed a superb debut season since joining Madrid following the expiration of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain, scoring 43 goals in all competitions.
He is the highest-scoring Madrid player in their debut campaign with the club, overtaking Ivan Zamorano's record of 37 from 1992-93 (45 games).
Mbappe was the top scorer in LaLiga last season, netting 31 goals, four more than Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski in second place.
It is not yet clear if Mbappe will be available for Madrid's second Club World Cup game against Pachuca, which it beat in December to win the FIFA Intercontinental Cup.
Madrid is second in Group H behind Salzburg, which beat Pachuca 2-1 in its first game.
