Kylian Mbappé has returned to training with his Real Madrid teammates this Wednesday, after overcoming an episode of acute gastroenteritis. The news comes just before the crucial Group H match in the Club World Cup against RB Salzburg.
The French striker had been briefly admitted to a hospital in Miami last week. This prevented him from participating in Madrid’s first two matches, a 1-1 draw against Al Hilal and a 3-1 victory against Pachuca.
Real Madrid leads Group H with four points, surpassing RB Salzburg on goal difference. Al Hilal, with two points, still has a chance to qualify for the knockout phase.
In the absence of Mbappé, forward Gonzalo García, 21, started in Miami and scored Madrid’s goal in the 34th minute. Rúben Neves equalized for Al Hilal from the penalty spot.
