Injured, Valverde to miss Uruguay friendlies against Mexico and USA | OneFootball

The midfielder Federico Valverde from Real Madrid suffered an injury to his right leg during his team's goalless draw against Rayo Vallecano in Vallecas, and will miss the two friendly matches of the Uruguayan national team against Mexico and the United States.

"After examinations conducted today on our player Fede Valverde by the Medical Services of Real Madrid, a semimembranosus muscle injury in the right leg was diagnosed," the club announced in a statement.

Valverde will be sidelined for a period of 10 to 12 days, according to the Spanish press, and the expectation is that he will only return for the match against Elche on November 23.

The Uruguayan midfielder had already finished the Champions League game, in which Real Madrid lost to Liverpool a week ago, feeling discomfort, although a subsequent MRI did not reveal any serious injury.
