Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde has reportedly suffered a head injury following an altercation with teammate Aurelien Tchouameni during training on Thursday, just days before the club’s crucial clash against arch-rivals FC Barcelona.
According to reports from Spain, the incident occurred during a heated exchange at training as tensions rose ahead of the highly anticipated El Clasico encounter this weekend. Real Madrid later confirmed that Valverde sustained a head injury, although the club did not disclose full details surrounding the incident.
The development has raised concerns within the Madrid camp as the Spanish giants prepare for one of the biggest fixtures of the season. Valverde has been a key figure for Carlo Ancelotti’s side this campaign, contributing both defensively and offensively in midfield.
It remains unclear whether the Uruguayan international will be available for the showdown against Barcelona, with medical staff expected to assess his condition in the coming days.
