Real Madrid has reportedly imposed a massive disciplinary sanction on two of its midfield stars, Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouameni, following a violent altercation during a training session.
According to the club’s statement, both players were involved in a heated clash on the training ground, which escalated to the point where Valverde allegedly suffered a traumatic head injury and required hospital attention.
Tchouameni, however, returned to training shortly after the incident.
The club said both players were summoned for disciplinary proceedings, where they expressed remorse, apologized to each other, and also apologised to teammates, coaching staff, and fans. They also agreed to accept any sanctions imposed by the club.
Following the internal investigation, Real Madrid confirmed it has fined both players €500,000 each, describing it as part of its internal disciplinary measures. The club added that the matter has now been concluded internally.
Valverde is expected to miss the upcoming LaLiga clash against Barcelona as he continues recovery, while Tchouameni has already resumed training.
The incident has sparked widespread attention due to the severity of the fine, which is being described as one of the largest disciplinary penalties in the club’s history.
