Mbappe is absent again! Real Madrid misses the French superstar in life and death battle

Just as the fans were looking forward to waiting for Mbappe to make a brilliant debut in a key Real Madrid battle, a basin of cold water fell from the sky - the French superstar missed the opportunity to go out again!

On the eve of Real Madrid's decisive game to Philadelphia to face Salzburg, the club officially announced that Mbappe was not on the roster. This game not only concerns the top spot in the group, but also directly determines who will face Manchester City coached by Guardiola in the quarterfinals. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow for Real Madrid and fans.

The disease is plagued by the superstar's weight plummet

Mbappe's absence is not a tactical arrangement, but due to his health. The French striker, worth over 100 million, was attacked by acute gastroenteritis not long ago, and his condition was so serious that he needed to be hospitalized. What is even more worrying is that in just a few days, Mbappe's weight dropped by 4 to 5 kilograms, and his physical condition was far from returning to the competition standards.

Although Mbappe has been discharged from the hospital and returned to the training ground, first training alone in the gym and then training with his teammates, his physical function is still at a low point. After careful evaluation, Real Madrid's medical team believed that there was a great risk of letting Mbappe rashly play.

Real Madrid has a surge of injuries, and the lineup is stretched. To make matters worse, Mbappe is not the only injury trouble for Real Madrid. Key players such as Carvajal, Militon and Alaba are also unable to play, which makes Real Madrid's lineup, which is already facing severe tests, even more stretched. The lack of many main players in such a critical game undoubtedly brings great challenges to head coach Alonso's deployment.

The life-and-death battle is about to break out, and Real Madrid is under great pressure

At present, Real Madrid and Salzburg have 4 points in the group standings. This direct dialogue will determine the final ownership of the group's top spot. More importantly, the group's first place will avoid strong rivals Manchester City in the quarterfinals, which is of great strategic significance to any team.

Even if a draw may be enough to allow the two teams to qualify together, Real Madrid will not be satisfied with mediocre results, whether in terms of club image or economic interests. As one of the most successful clubs in world football, Real Madrid needs to show their championship appearance on a stage like the Club World Cup and prove that they are still the overlord of world football.

Health is the first, long-term considerations show wisdom

Faced with external doubts and fans' disappointment, Real Madrid's management has a very clear attitude: they will never risk sacrificing the long-term health of players for a game. This cautious attitude reflects the importance of modern football on player protection and also reflects Real Madrid's professional qualities as a top club.

After all, Mbappe has just joined Real Madrid, and his condition and health are crucial to the team's long-term development. Rather than barely playing without fully recovering your body, wait patiently to ensure that the superstar returns to the field at its best.

fans' expectations were disappointed, but understanding the club's decision

For countless fans who are looking forward to seeing Mbappe's style on the Club World Cup stage, this news is undoubtedly disappointing. Since Mbappe joined Real Madrid, every appearance has touched the hearts of fans all over the world. However, rational fans can also understand the club's decisions - the health of players is always more important than any game.

The future is promising, and the quarterfinals may be back

If everything goes well, Mbappe is expected to make a comeback in the quarterfinals. Whether Real Madrid's ultimate opponent is Juventus or Manchester City, the return of the French superstar will inject strong attack power into the team. By then, after full rest and recovery, Mbappe may be able to show his true strength in a higher level of confrontation.

Conclusion

Mbappe's absence is regrettable, but Real Madrid's cautious attitude is worthy of appreciation. In the increasingly fierce competitive environment of modern football, how to balance short-term achievements and long-term development and how to make correct choices at critical moments test the wisdom of the club management.

I believe that after this setback, Mbappe will return with a stronger attitude, and Real Madrid will prove its overall strength to the world without superstars. After all, true giants never rely on a single star, but rely on the power of a team to conquer the world.
