Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni got into another fight during Thursday’s training session with the Uruguayan midfielder needing to be taken to hospital to get some stitches after he took a hard hit. A report from Cadena SER indicates that Valverde hit his head with a table during the confrontation. The incident was reportedly much more severe than the previous one, requiring teammates to step in and break it up.
Apparently, and according to reports on MARCA and AS, Valverde refused to shake Tchouameni’s hand early in the morning and that preceded a tension-filled session.
In an unprecedented move, the entire squad remained at the training facility for an emergency “crisis cabinet” meeting. No players were allowed to leave until the situation was addressed internally. Real Madrid leadership is deeply concerned by the growing division and high levels of tension within the squad, describing the current atmosphere as one of “maximum alert,“ per reports published on MARCA and AS.
