Why Aurélien Tchouaméni is out of Real Madrid’s squad to face Real Betis | OneFootball

An explanation for the absence of Aurélien Tchouaméni from the latest matchday squad called upon by Real Madrid boss Álvaro Arbeloa has been forthcoming online.

This comes amid confirmation of the Frenchman having suffered a fitness setback.

Real Madrid are of course set to return to action on Friday evening, in a La Liga meeting with Manuel Pellegrini’s Real Betis.

Los Blancos’ squad for the fixture, in turn, was unveiled in the hours leading up to kick-off at La Cartuja.

And nowhere to be seen was the name of the aforementioned Aurélien Tchouaméni.

France international Tchouaméni has proven himself one of Real’s standout performers this season, therefore expected to feature from the off against Betis.

As per a report from club insider Arancha Rodríguez, however, the former AS Monaco man is dealing with a ‘left hamstring overload’.
