The striker missed Real's opening two matches in the World Championship for club teams in the USA since he was taken to hospital on Thursday. After a few hours, he was able to return to the club's base in Florida. Since then, Mbappé has received medical treatment and gradually increased his training.

But he is not sufficiently recovered to take a place in the 23-man squad for the final group stage match against Salzburg in Philadelphia on Friday night. Mbappé's name was missing when the squad was presented, according to the news agency AFP.

Real's coach Xabi Alonso said a few days ago that he had hopes that Mbappé would somehow participate in the match.

He is on the road to recovery and is back from the hospital. We are optimistic about having him in the squad for the match against Salzburg.

The winner of the match wins the group. For Real Madrid, it is enough to play a draw to advance to the round of 16.

Mbappé has scored 43 goals in 56 matches for Real Madrid since he joined from Paris SG last summer.
