Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde was treated in hospital after a clash with team-mate Aurelien Tchouameni following a training session yesterday, several Spanish media outlets reported.
Uruguay international Valverde, who was accompanied to the hospital facility near the club’s Valdebebas training complex by Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa, needed stitches to treat a facial wound, according to the reports.
The two players rowed on Wednesday in training and their argument continued yesterday during and after the session.
Spanish newspaper Marca, who first reported the story, said Valverde’s cut was caused unintentionally and not directly by a punch from France midfielder Tchouameni.
Real Madrid and the agents of the two players did not comment when contacted about the incident by AFP.
Spanish media reported Valverde refused to shake Tchouameni’s hand and later fouled him in yesterday’s training session, with the pair scrapping afterwards in the dressing room Federico Valverde celebrates during a match (file photo) when the injury occurred.
