Real Madrid take action against Valverde & Tchouameni after shocking training ground bust-up | OneFootball

Real Madrid have confirmed they have opened disciplinary proceedings into Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde after their shocking training ground bust-up. 

The two stars were involved in a second confrontation in two days, with Valverde taken to hospital after a ‘traumatic brain injury’. 

The La Liga giants have announced they have launched an internal probe into the matter. 

A club statement read: “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 confrontation between the two started early on Thursday when Valverde refused to shake Tchouameni’s hand. 

The Uruguay international accused his team-mate of having leaked the story of their previous fight, which he denied. 

Things escalated, as Valverde fell and connected with the corner of a table. 

Madrid confirmed the 27-year-old’s injury but said he is now in a good condition. 

Valverde later posted a lengthy Instagram statement, insisting Tchouameni didn’t hit him and the injury was caused when he accidentally hit a table. 

The latest incident came just three days before Madrid’s crucial league game with Barcelona at the Camp Nou. 

If Alvaro Arbeloa’s side do not win, the Catalan club will be crowned champions. 

Madrid have already crashed out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage following a 6-4 aggregate defeat to Bayern Munich. 

Los Blancos are set to end a second successive season without a trophy. 

Arbeloa will reportedly leave as head coach, with Jose Mourinho expected to take over from the Spaniard this summer.
