With Kylian Mbappe sick and Endrick injured, Gonzalo Garcia has emerged as not only a quality third option at striker but also a real possibility as the club considers the future of the position.

Kylian Mbappé's absence has been acutely felt. Not just by Real Madrid, but by tournament organisers, who will have been pleased to see one of the world's premier players back on the pitch.

Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso said superstar striker Kylian Mbappe is "better" ahead of the Club World Cup quarter-final clash against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, but would not confirm if the Frenchman will start.
