Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde visited a hospital after he clashed with teammate Aurélien Tchouameni during a training session. Reports indicated that the incident occurred on Thursday at the club’s Valdebebas training complex.
Federico Valverde sustained a cut to his face during the scrap. He required stitches for the wound. Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa accompanied the Uruguay international to a hospital facility near the training ground.
The clash marked the second altercation between the two midfielders in consecutive days. Spanish media reported that tensions rose after Valverde refused to shake Tchouameni’s hand and later fouled him in training. The situation escalated into a physical confrontation that required intervention from other players.
Real Madrid officials held an emergency meeting in the dressing room immediately after the incident. Sources described the latest fight as more serious than the previous one. Club leaders discussed possible disciplinary actions as they sought to address internal tensions ahead of key matches, including the upcoming Clasico against Barcelona.
The club has not yet issued an official statement on the players’ conditions or availability for upcoming games. Reports confirmed that Valverde received treatment and returned from the hospital after the procedure.
