Kylian Mbappe will not be available against Pachuca for the second match of the Club World Cup after not traveling to Charlotte with the squad due to a gastrointestinal injury.

Mbappe will stay in Palm Beach (Florida) to continue his recovery process after the acute gastroenteritis suffered this week, according to reports.

The Frenchman worked at the Real Madrid hotel facilities in Palm Beach on Friday and is not part of the group working under Xabi Alonso this Saturday.

Mbappe only had two training sessions in Florida, last Sunday and Monday. From that moment on, he suffered a fever that prevented him from playing in the match against Al Hilal in Miami, Real Madrid's debut at the Club World Cup.

That same night, the Frenchman had to be hospitalized for acute gastroenteritis and was discharged a few hours later after receiving treatment.

The Frenchman is progressing in his recovery and on Friday he worked out in the gym at Real Madrid's hotel in Palm Beach, the Four Seasons Resort, but he is still not ready to compete.

Real Madrid will probably use Gonzalo García as their main attacking force again, a striker who scored Madrid's only goal in the debut against the Saudi team.

Real Madrid needs to get points against Pachuca

The Whites will face Pachuca this Sunday in a match that is already crucial for the Group H standings.

The match will be played at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte at 3:00 pm local time.

Pachuca is also playing for its life in this match, after opening with a 2-1 defeat against Salzburg. A setback against Madrid would leave the Mexican team out of the Club World Cup.

To date, only Bayern Munich and Flamengo have secured their place in the round of 16 of the Club World Cup.
