Kylian Mbappe

Mbappe (illness) missed the opening game for Real Madrid against Al Hilal in the FIFA Club World Cup and is still a doubt for Sunday's clash against Pachuca, coach Xabi Alonso said in the press conference. "We don't know. We need to see how his recovery is going. He hasn't been able to train well in recent days. He's been in a bad way, with a significant viral infection, and we'll have to keep an eye on it."

Mbappe (undisclosed) is a late call for Wednesday's clash against Al Hilal for the first group stage game of the FIFA Club World Cup, coach Xabi Alonso said in the press conference. "He felt a little better today, but not well enough. It's very hot, and it was better for him not to go out to train. We'll wait until the last minute and we'll decide tomorrow morning. He's a more dynamic striker. He's not a positional player. He's not a reference number nine, a box player, but he's a number nine who scores a lot of goals."

Mbappe scored two goals to go with eight shots (five on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Real Sociedad.

Mbappe scored one goal to go with seven shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-0 win against Sevilla.

Mbappe notched a goal in Real Madrid's 2-1 win over Mallorca Wednesday.
