June 17, 2025 – Just days before Real Madrid kicks off its campaign in the much-anticipated Club World Cup, a storm is brewing in the Spanish capital. Kylian Mbappé, France’s golden boy and the club’s latest superstar, was absent from training this morning. The reason? Illness, casting serious doubt over his participation in the opening match of the tournament.
Real Madrid on High Alert ⚠️
The news sent shockwaves through the Madrid press and across social media. Mbappé, expected to be one of the main attractions of the tournament, is now a major doubt for Real’s opener. According to the medical staff, the World Cup winner is suffering from a viral infection—nothing serious, but enough to keep him off the pitch for now.
A Game-Changer for Ancelotti? 🌀
With Mbappé potentially sidelined, Carlo Ancelotti may need to rethink his strategy. The Italian coach was counting on his star forward to make the difference in a tournament that Real Madrid is determined to win. As reigning champions, Los Blancos are eager to defend their crown—but might have to do so without their marquee man.
👉 All eyes now turn to Vinícius Jr., Jude Bellingham, and Rodrygo, who may need to step up even more if Mbappé can’t start.
A Club World Cup Without Mbappé? 🤔
The 2025 edition of the Club World Cup is set to be a global football spectacle, with a revamped format, blockbuster matchups, and fans traveling from all over the world. Mbappé’s absence would be a huge blow—not only for Real Madrid, but for the tournament as a whole.
Final Decision Within 48 Hours ⏳
Real Madrid is expected to release an official medical update in the next two days. Until then, football fans everywhere are holding their breath. The big question remains: Will Kylian Mbappé be fit in time for the Club World Cup opener?
