A fight with serious consequences. As revealed El Chiringuito this Thursday evening, Federico Valverde should not be able to hold his place on Sunday during the Clasico. The Uruguayan midfielder underwent tests after his fight with Aurélien Tchouameni, and the results left little room for optimism, as the player ended up in hospital after falling to the ground during the clash.

In any case, it is difficult to see how the player could have participated in the match without being sanctioned by Real Madrid. This evening, the Madrid club also announced the opening of disciplinary proceedings against its two players. Sanctions could come fairly quickly.
