“Our player Kylian Mbappé is suffering from an acute case of gastroenteritis and has been admitted to hospital in order to undergo a series of tests and follow the appropriate course of treatment,” Madrid said in a statement.

Mbappé will continue receiving specific medical treatment and will gradually return to team activity.”
