June 2025
Mbappé missed Real Madrid training due to a fever ahead of their Club World Cup opener against Al Hilal. A decision on his availability will be made on matchday.
Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said Mbappé felt better but not enough to train. The team also faces injury concerns with Rüdiger, Camavinga, Carvajal, and Militão. Heat and humidity in Miami remain a challenge for players.

Kylian Mbappé was shown a straight red card in Real Madrid’s 1–0 win at Alavés after a reckless challenge on Antonio Blanco. The dismissal came just minutes after Eduardo Camavinga scored the game’s only goal.
The red card, confirmed after VAR review, marked Mbappé’s first since joining Madrid. Assistant coach Davide Ancelotti said the forward apologized and recognized his mistake. Madrid, chasing Barcelona in LaLiga, now await his suspension length.

April 2025 (UEFA ruling ahead of April 8 UCL match)
Rudiger, Mbappe, and Ceballos have been fined but avoided bans for gestures made during the penalty win over Atletico Madrid. Vinicius was cleared.
UEFA found the players violated rules of decent conduct. Rudiger (€40k), Mbappe (€30k), and Ceballos (€20k) were each fined. Suspensions of one UEFA match were issued to Rudiger and Mbappe—but these are under a one-year probation. If either breaks UEFA conduct rules again during this period, the ban becomes active and they will miss their next eligible UEFA match.
