According to Sell Radio, although Mbappe has been discharged from the hospital, his return plan still takes time, so it is almost impossible for him to play in the next game.
Real Madrid's offensive plan in the Club World Cup was hit by Mbappe's sudden hospitalization, who was hospitalized in the United States due to acute gastroenteritis, which directly affected Alonso's plan. In addition, due to Enderick's injury, the team had to rely on youth training player Gonzalo Garcia as the offensive core in the first game, who scored a goal in the first game.
Although Mbappe was discharged from the hospital on Thursday, his return plan will take time. According to reports from SER Deportivos reporter Javier Ereaz, it is almost impossible for Mbappe to play in the next game. The schedule is compact and the recovery time left for him is very limited, so there are questions about whether he can make a comeback before the last game of the group stage.
On Saturday, Real Madrid will make final preparations to face Pachuca. Mbappe's availability remains uncertain, and he trained alone on Friday. At the same time, the team conducted arduous training under high temperature and high humidity conditions, with the temperature reaching 28 degrees and extremely high humidity.
In this case, it is not expected that the starting lineup will change much. However, Guerre's performance in the first game is impressive and is expected to gain more opportunities. By contrast, Bellingham and Rodrigo are in poor form, the former may require surgery and the latter is still recovering.
The new coach Alonso will look for the right tactics while focusing on rising stars from the youth training camp, such as Gonzalo Garcia and Muñoz.
