Hit following a poorly controlled tackle by Kang-in Lee during the derby between Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid this Sunday (2-1 defeat), Federico Valverde finished the match with a swollen ankle. Unable to do the medical exams until it had deflated, he was able to do it this Tuesday.
And the Uruguayan midfielder should miss between 2 and 3 weeks of competition, which would allow him to consider a return after the international break: “Following the examinations carried out today by the Real Madrid medical services on our player Fede Valverde, he suffers from a grade 3 sprain in his left ankle. His recovery will be closely monitored.»
