Why Kylian Mbappe May Not Play in Real Madrid's Club World Cup Debut

Real Madrid will make their 2025 FIFA Club World Cup appearance tomorrow against Al Hilal at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. Los Blancos are one of the favorites to win the competition and will look to go all the way this summer.

Real Madrid are in Group H with Al Hilal, Club Pachuca, and RB Salzburg. The Spanish giants will debut under their new manager, Xabi Alonso, but he may be without one of the team's star players for the opening match.

Kylian Mbappe may miss the first game of the Club World Cup with Real Madrid after not participating in the last training session today before the match against Al Hilal. Luckily for him and the fans, the reason is not due to an injury.

Kylian Mbappe's illness causes mild concern

The club reported that Mbappé has a fever, which prevented him from training with the rest of the team today. Xabi Alonso trained the rest of the team ahead of tomorrow's match, and it is yet unclear if Mbappe is fully ruled out for the game.

There is still a possibility that Mbappe will feature in the game against Al Hilal tomorrow in Miami. If the player starts to feel better, reports suggest that Mbappe may be able to play, but starting on the bench.
