Real ace fancied after stomach bug

- BY ALEX HANKIN

KYLIAN MBAPPE has timed his runs to perfection at the Club World Cup.

The Real Madrid ace missed all the hard work of the group games with a nasty dose of the trots.

But Mbappe came on as a substitute in the defeat of Juventus in the last-16 and looks primed to boss things now the really serious stuff is underway.

Yes, the CWC has reached the quarterfinal stage - ‘What, so soon?!’ I hear you cry.

It barely seems six months ago that the whole magical journey kicked off on June 14 with an unforgettable 0-0 between whatever two sides did that, and yet here we are.

But when FIFA gives us a lemon, punters can always make lemonade - and tonight’s two games certainly look like a zesty pair to punt.
