Mbappé absent from last training before Club World Cup debut: Will he play against Al-Hilal?

With temperatures hovering around 90°F (30°C) and humidity near 75%, Real Madrid is taking extra precautions. Mbappé stayed back at the hotel and hopes to be fit, but the staff won’t force a return in such harsh conditions, especially for a player under the weather.

Kylian Mbappé did not take part in Real Madrid’s final training session ahead of tomorrow’s match against Al Hilal due to a feverish condition. The French striker is now considered doubtful for the match, as Miami’s high temperatures make it unwise to take any risks with players not fully fit.

Mbappé trained yesterday under normal conditions, but later informed staff at the hotel that he wasn’t feeling well. He even missed team lunch, prompting immediate attention from Real Madrid’s medical team, who confirmed he was experiencing a fever.

Because of this, he also skipped FIFA’s official photo session and did not greet Florentino Pérez, who joined the team yesterday.

Mbappé has remained at the team hotel, hoping to recover in time for the match. However, with heat and humidity levels soaring, the coaching staff is unlikely to push any player who isn’t at 100%. Real Madrid is currently training in Palm Beach under 90°F (30°C) temperatures and 75% humidity, conditions expected to be even tougher during the match.

The team’s kickoff is scheduled for 3 PM ET, while training sessions are held at 10:30 AM to help players adapt. Mbappé remains questionable due to the fever and illness that began affecting him yesterday.
