REAL MADRID superstar Kylian Mbappe reportedly lost up to five kilograms while suffering from illness over the last week.
The 26-year-old was hospitalised on the day of Real Madrid’s opening Club World Cup match against Al-Hilal and received treatment for acute gastroenteritis.

Upon returning to the team hotel after being discharged, he was forced to isolate from his team-mates to avoid speading the infection.
Mbappe returned to individual training on Monday and is now looking to reintegrate back into the squad.
However, the Frenchman has been hugely affected by his illness.
Spanish outlet Marca has revealed that he lost between four and five kilograms due to the virus.
Fans have now expressed concern for him, with one person writing on social media: “He really needs to rest.”
While another said: “So obvious, let’s just give him time to recover fully.”
It is believed that he could have contracted the virus back in Madrid before flying to the US earlier this month.
He began feeling unwell after the club’s second training session in Miami.

Mbappe is now hoping to return in time for Real Madrid‘s final group stage match against RB Salzburg on Thursday.
Los Blancos currently sit at the top of Group H with four points from two games.
They were held to a 1-1 draw by Al-Hilal in their opening match before defeating Mexican side Pachuca 3-1 on Sunday.
Mbappe was absent for both of the matches.
At the weekend, new Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso said of the forward: “I’m looking forward to having him back, but we have to see how he progresses day by day.
“We have to wait. Now we’re going back to Florida and we’ll see how he is. We’re waiting for him.”
