Real Madrid are facing a double setback after an incident during training on Thursday. Midfielder Fede Valverde has been diagnosed with a cranioencephalic trauma and is expected to be sidelined for 10 to 14 days, according to sources.
In a separate development, disciplinary proceedings have been opened against both Valverde and teammate Aurélien Tchouaméni following a reported fight during the same session. The nature of the altercation remains unclear, and the club has not yet issued an official statement.
Both facts are currently unverified, but they raise concerns for manager Carlo Ancelotti as Real Madrid prepare for upcoming fixtures. Valverde’s absence will be a blow to the midfield, while the disciplinary situation could lead to further sanctions pending the investigation.
