A clash between Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde during Real Madrid training caused a major stir within the squad. The disagreement, which began on the pitch, continued in the dressing room and resulted in an injury to the Uruguayan midfielder. Consequently, Valverde was hospitalized with a head injury requiring stitches, as reported by Goal.com reports .

Aurelien Tchouameni issued a public apology regarding the incident. In his statement, he emphasized that such behavior is unbecoming of representatives of the world's most famous club like Real Madrid and sets a poor example for youth. The player confirmed he would accept the fine imposed by the club in full.

According to medical results, Federico Valverde must rest for 10 to 14 days. This means he will miss the upcoming El Clasico. The club management fined both players €500,000 and declared the internal disciplinary case closed.
