Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe is in hospital with gastroenteritis after missing their Club World Cup opener against Al-Hilal.

The France captain, 26, missed training on Tuesday with a fever and was left out of the team for Wednesday's 1-1 draw against the Saudi Arabian side.

But Real said on Thursday that he has "acute gastroenteritis" and is in hospital for "various tests and treatment".

Gastroenteritis is an infection in the gut which can cause vomiting and diarrhoea.

Real's next game is against Pachuca on Sunday at 20:00 BST.

Mbappe scored 43 goals in 56 games in all competitions for Real in his first season after joining on a free transfer from Paris St-Germain.
