Federico Valverde was taken to hospital and needed stitches to heal a “small cut” after a bust-up on Real Madrid’s training ground with teammate Aurelien Tchouameni.
The midfielder denied that he and Tchouameni “came to blows” during the confrontation but Real Madrid have opened disciplinary proceedings against both players over the training-ground incident. A club statement read: “Real Madrid CF announces that, following the events that took place this morning in the first team training session, it has decided to open disciplinary proceedings against our players Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni.”
