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, says Alonso at a press conference.

The Frenchman did not fly with the squad to Charlotte where Mexican Pachuca awaits on Sunday. The last group stage match against Salzburg will be played on Thursday in Philadelphia.

It was ahead of Wednesday's premiere of the World Championship club match against Saudi Arabian al-Hilal in Miami that the 26-year-old was struck by an inflammation in the stomach and had to be taken urgently to the hospital. A few hours later, Mbappé was discharged.

The Spanish club had to settle for 1–1 against al-Hilal.
