Just when you thought football stars were invincible, Kylian Mbappe drops a bombshell — he got food poisoning! Yes, the Real Madrid superstar, who looked unstoppable at the start of the FIFA Club World Cup, was sidelined by serious gastrointestinal issues. The French ace lost a shocking six kilograms and even ended up hospitalized. It all started before the team flew to Miami, where Real began their campaign. Mbappe suffered from a high fever and symptoms of acute gastroenteritis. Doctors initially suspected a virus or even appendicitis. But the real culprit? Food poisoning, most likely from bacteria in chicken! While other players were running circles on the pitch, Mbappe was fighting his own stomach. He managed to return for the quarterfinal against Borussia Dortmund and even scored a goal, but it was clear he wasn’t at full strength. What does this say about the conditions top athletes face? Can a world-class player like Mbappe be taken down by something as mundane as food poisoning? This story is a wake-up call — even the biggest stars aren’t immune to health issues, and sometimes, food is the enemy. Got a similar story or think this is overblown?
