Kylian Mbappe's fitness is under careful scrutiny ahead of Real Madrid's clash with Salzburg, following his recent hospitalization due to acute gastroenteritis. Though he missed the prior match against Pachuca, coach Alonso hasn't entirely ruled him out for the upcoming game, albeit he may only be available as a substitute. Alongside Mbappe's situation, Alonso is faced with a defensive reshuffle due to Raul Asencio's suspension, likely replacing him with Antonio Rudiger. For Salzburg, an injury to Takumu Kawamura adds to their challenges as the teams prepare to meet amid anticipated high temperatures.
Real Madrid coach Alonso indicated that while Kylian Mbappe's fitness is being monitored, his participation against Salzburg remains unlikely due to ongoing health concerns.
With Takumu Kawamura ruled out for Salzburg and an early red card suspension for Raul Asencio, both teams are expected to make pivotal changes to their line-ups.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Kylian Mbappe, Alonso is optimistic about the French striker's recovery, hinting he might be available to come off the bench.
The match between Real Madrid and Salzburg is set to take place at 2am UK time and will be available for streaming on DAZN.
