What happened at the training ground
Federico Valverde was taken to hospital after an incident involving teammate Aurélien Tchouaméni during a Real Madrid training session. The club confirmed that both players are now part of an internal disciplinary process following events that took place at the training facility.
Medical checks confirmed that Valverde suffered a head injury known as cranioencephalic trauma. Doctors diagnosed it as a concussion and advised him to rest at home for 10 to 14 days under standard safety rules.
How the situation escalated
Reports say tension started during a training session and continued into the dressing room. Staff initially managed to calm things down, but the issue did not fully settle.
The situation later escalated after training at Valdebebas. Sources say Tchouaméni confronted Valverde and a verbal exchange turned physical. Valverde lost consciousness during the incident and later needed stitches for his injuries.
Club response and urgent meeting
Club officials acted quickly after the incident. An emergency meeting took place involving senior management, coaching staff, and team leadership.
The club confirmed that disciplinary action is ongoing. They also stated that they will share further updates once internal reviews are complete. Both players and their representatives have been contacted for their statements.
Concern ahead of a key fixture
