Real Madrid have officially opened disciplinary proceedings against Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouameni following an incident during first-team training. The club also stated that further updates will only be provided once the internal process has been completed.
Key Takeaways:
- Real Madrid have launched internal disciplinary proceedings against Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouameni after a training-ground incident
- The confrontation reportedly escalated into a physical altercation at Valdebebas, with tensions carrying over from a previous session
- Valverde suffered a cranioencephalic trauma after reportedly hitting a table during the scuffle and will miss 10 to 14 days
- The incident comes just before a crucial Clasico against Barcelona, creating added pressure and uncertainty within the squad
Training Ground Clash Escalates
Tensions between the two midfielders intensified during Thursday’s session at Valdebebas after disagreements from a previous training session carried over into another confrontation. In a short statement, the club confirmed: “Real Madrid C. F. announces that, following the incidents that occurred this morning during the first team's training session, it has decided to open disciplinary proceedings against our players Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouameni.”
The situation reportedly turned physical, with the altercation leading to Valverde suffering a head injury after falling and hitting a table during the scuffle. The Uruguay international was later taken to hospital for medical examinations before eventually returning home.
The incident has reportedly alarmed club officials, particularly given the importance of maintaining squad unity during a decisive stage of the season.
Valverde Diagnosed With Head Trauma
Real Madrid has since released a concerning update on Valverde's condition. Following extensive tests, the Uruguayan international has been diagnosed with a cranioencephalic trauma, more commonly known as a traumatic brain injury.
While Valverde is now recovering at home, medical protocols dictate a mandatory rest period of 10 to 14 days. This diagnosis immediately rules him out of contention for the monumental clash against Barcelona.
Clasico Preparations Hit by Off-Field Turmoil
The timing of the incident comes as a major setback for Real Madrid ahead of a crucial Clasico showdown against Barcelona, where the La Liga title could be decided. Barcelona only need to avoid defeat to secure the championship, while Real Madrid must now prepare for the high-pressure clash amid internal unrest and uncertainty surrounding potential disciplinary measures.
Valverde has already been ruled out due to injury, while the club has yet to confirm whether any suspension will also be imposed on either player before the match.
