Team newspaper: Mbappe suffered from poisoning after eating contaminated poultry meat. At first, he thought he was heatstroke and later thought he was appendicitis.
On June 19, Real Madrid officially announced that Mbappe had symptoms of acute gastrointestinal inflammation. According to the Marca newspaper, Mbappe could only drink electrolyte drinks and eat a small amount of fruit for a time, and had almost no strength to live a normal life.
The team newspaper wrote another article to explain Mbappe's illness. The article stated that Mbappe lost weight due to food poisoning: before flying to Miami to participate in the Club World Cup, Mbappe had already felt initial symptoms. At that time, everyone thought it was just heatstroke. The pain is tolerated and the players think it will relieve it on their own. But the situation did not improve, but instead worsened sharply, causing him to be completely dehydrated.
Real Madrid's medical team did not include him on the first match list against Saudi club. At halftime, the club doctor even informed Mbappe's entourage on the sidelines that he needed to be hospitalized. This time, it was suspected that it was an appendicitis attack. Exhausted Mbappe was infused and tested. The result is a little relieved: it is not appendicitis. But the examination showed that he suffered from severe food poisoning, which may be caused by eating bacteria-contaminated poultry.
On July 2, Mbappe made a substitute in the 1/8 final against Juventus, completing his comeback. In the game against Dortmund, he made another substitute and scored a goal. Early tomorrow morning, Real Madrid will play against Mbappe's old club Paris in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup.
