Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde will miss the La Liga Matchday 35 clash against Barcelona, according to journalist Abraham Romero. Doctors have advised the Uruguayan not to train or play for at least a week following a head injury sustained during an altercation with Aurélien Tchouaméni.
Valverde and Tchouaméni reportedly clashed during a training session for the Madrid club. Following the incident, Federico was taken to the hospital where he received stitches.
Spanish media reports indicate that Real Madrid will initiate disciplinary proceedings against the players and intends to apply sanctions in accordance with internal regulations.
On May 10th, Real Madrid will face Barcelona at the Camp Nou. Kick-off is at 10:00 PM, and even a draw would be enough for the Catalans to secure their league title.
