Just in – Fede Valverde will not play for Real Madrid against Barcelona | OneFootball

Real Madrid find themselves in absolute turmoil with the state that their dressing room is currently in.

As already reported, Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni were involved in a physical altercation today which ended with the former getting knocked down and suffering a cut on his face, needing to visit a hospital to get stitches.

Real Madrid have already opened disciplinary proceedings against both players and are planning to hand out serious punishments, with their involvement for Sunday’s El Clasico under huge doubt.

Valverde to definitely miss El Clasico

Now, according to journalist Abraham Romero of El Mundo, Valverde will most certainly not play for Real Madrid against Barcelona this weekend.

Having suffered a blow to his head during the altercation inside the dressing room, the midfielder was dizzy and had to be taken to the hospital in a wheelchair.

As such, the doctors have recommended him not to train or play for a minimum of one week, meaning he will not be involved in Sunday’s game against Barcelona.

In fact, an alternate report from Edu Aguirre of El Chiringuito TV further states that Valverde even lost consciousness briefly and forgot some things immediately after he took the knock to his head. It is the reason why he had to take a CT scan.

Given the circumstances, irrespective of a sanction from the club, Valverde will not be risked against Barcelona on Sunday.

As for Tchouameni, the Frenchman, too, is unlikely to be involved in the Clasico, with Real Madrid expected to issue a strict sanction to both players for what went down at Valdebebas.
