Real Madrid begins its 2025 club World Cup against Al Hilal on Wednesday, but it could be deprived of the Kylian Mbappé services for the match against the Saudi Pro League team.

Mbappé was sickBefore the match in Miami and did not train with his Real Madrid teammates on Tuesday. It is therefore uncertain to face Al Hilal.

Despite this, the Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso, keeps hope regarding the availability of Mbappé. During his pre-match press conference (viaDIARIO AS), he took stock of French, as well as Antonio Rudiger and Eduardo Camavonga.

Kylian felt a little better this morning, but not enough. It is very hot and it was better that I did not train. But we will wait for the last moment. Tomorrow morning, we will decide.

As for the rest … they are impatient, but they are in different phases. Rudiger has made a considerable effort this season and I do not know if it will be recalled tomorrow, but it progresses well and will be the first to return. The others will need a little more time. Camavonga is progressing so quickly, but he needs time.

Alonso also gave his opinion on how he sees Mbappé and the way he wants his Real Madrid team to play.

“He’s a dynamic attacker, no positioning, not in the surface. The idea is not to have fixed players. Because Kylian is not a new reference number … but it is a new number that scores a lot of goals. »»

Regarding the match against Al Hilal, Alonso clearly said what he expected from his team.

We have to prepare this match as best as possible. It will be a tough opponent, for sure. But it’s time to focus on ourselves. They have not yet made their debut with Simone Inzaghi, so we don’t know how they will play.

We must show our thirst to win, our desire to compete, our desire to play well. We have to combine many things, but this self-esteem, this team spirit, this desire to defend our badge … The team already has it, but we have to work on it. We must be a team.
