The absence of Mbappé represents a challenge for the team, especially after his outstanding previous season, where he scored 43 goals in all competitions.Mbappé joined training with new coach Xabi Alonso the previous Friday, after playing with the French national team in the UEFA Nations League, before traveling to the United States with his teammates on Saturday.
The forward was not present at the open training session in Palm Beach Gardens on Tuesday, and a Real Madrid spokesperson reported that Mbappé was suffering from a fever.
Subsequently, he was excluded from the squad for Wednesday’s match against Al Hilal.
In his absence, young Gonzalo García started as a center forward and scored the first goal, before Rúben Neves equalized for Al Hilal.
Midfielder Federico Valverde had the opportunity to give Real Madrid the victory in added time, but his penalty was stopped by goalkeeper Yassine Bono.
Real Madrid seeks to win the Club World Cup, which would mean the first title for Alonso at the helm of the team, after the recent incorporations of defenders Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
