The French star Kylian Mbappe continues to be absent from Real Madrid's collective training under coach Xabi Alonso. Despite the team's return to work after winning against Pachuca, his return is imminent as he has started individual training in the gym, preparing to rejoin the group.

Mbappe had suffered a sudden health issue on June 16, which caused him to miss the match against Al-Hilal in the team's opening match in the Club World Cup. He was later hospitalized due to a stomach and intestinal inflammation, as announced by the club in an official statement.

After undergoing the necessary treatment, he received medical clearance to leave the hospital and continue his recovery phase with the team.

The current objective within the club is to prepare Mbappe for the upcoming match against Red Bull Salzburg on Friday, which may see his official return if he completes his recovery.

It is noteworthy that Mbappe finished last season with remarkable performance, winning the Golden Boot after scoring 43 goals, and he aspired to reach 50 goals during his participation in the Club World Cup, but the injury disrupted his start with the team in the tournament.
