Involved in an altercation between him and his Real Madrid teammate Federico Valverde, Aurélien Tchouaméni has not been talked about well lately in Spain. While some called for more severe sanctions against him, the French midfielder, who was fined 500,000 euros, should not play with Real again this season.
No punishment inflicted by the management of the Merengue club or by Alvaro Arbeloa, but a medical problem for the French international. As Marca indicated this Thursday, Aurélien Tchouaméni remained at the training center due to “muscle pain”.
The footballer therefore did not participate in the collective session and should not be operational for the final day of the championship scheduled for Saturday at 9 p.m. for Real Madrid, with the reception of Athletic Bilbao. On the other hand, Federico Valverde returns after his injury sustained during the famous altercation. The Uruguayan who has not participated in the Merengue’s last three matches.
Aurélien Tchouaméni absent, Vinicius Junior too?
Another player apparently absent for the last of Real this season: Vinicius Junior. The club confirmed he also did not attend training. Marca added for its part that an agreement would have been reached between the two parties to leave the Brazilian to rest before he joins his selection.
No Trent Alexander-Arnold during today’s session either, due to a viral infection. If Aurélien Tchouaméni will not be on the field on Saturday, Daniel Carvajal will be entitled to a proper tribute. The Merengue captain will indeed leave the club after thirteen years of good and loyal service.
