Real Madrid’s star forward Kylian Mbappé is currently a major question mark ahead of the team’s opening FIFA Club World Cup match against Al‑Hilal in Miami on Wednesday. Mbappé missed Tuesday’s training session after waking up with a high fever, casting “more than reasonable doubt” over his match fitness, according to club sources.His absence presents a significant headache for newly-appointed manager Xabi Alonso, with Mbappé being Real’s only recognized centre forward. Young Brazilian prospect Endrick was already ruled out due to a leg injury, further limiting Alonso’s attacking options.Mbappé has been pivotal since his arrival from Paris Saint‑Germain, netting 31 La Liga goals this season and with Real Madrid, fresh off their fifth Champions League triumph in the past decade, Mbappé’s presence (or absence) could prove decisive.Alonso meanwhile stated the coaching team will make a final fitness decision on Wednesday. The match kicks off at 11:30 pm Kabul time and takes place at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.Matches from Last Night (June 17)Fluminense 0–0 Borussia DortmundA stalemate in Group F at MetLife Stadium (New Jersey), on Tuesday night although Fluminense dominated play, particularly in the first half, but Dortmund’s GK Gregor Kobel kept a clean sheet with multiple key saves.Mamelodi Sundowns 1–0 Ulsan HDAnother Group F match, held in Orlando was the Mamelodi Sundowns vs Ulsan game that saw history being made.
