The return of Aurélien Tchouameni to the Blues will have to wait. Already absent last month due to a suspension, the Real Madrid midfielder will once again have to give up the France team gathering, while Didier Deschamps will unveil his list this Thursday for the matches against Ukraine and Azerbaijan. Supposed to be part of it, the 25-year-old ultimately withdrew due to a muscle injury.
There COPE specifies that his duration of absence should be approximately three weeks. Tchouameni should therefore miss the matches against Rayo Vallecano, Elche and Olympiakos in the Champions League. A hard blow obviously for Xabi Alonso, who has made him one of his main men this season, but also for Didier Deschamps, who will only be able to count on him in March from now on, for what will be his last list before the World Cup.
