Fede Valverde ruled out with ‘head trauma’ following training ground fight
Fede Valverde ruled out with ‘head trauma’ following training ground fight Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde may not feature again this season, after being ruled out due to a head trauma. The injury was sustained in a training ground fight with teammate Aurelien Tchouameni. After being harassed by Valverde, Tchouameni punched Valverde and after stumbling, the Uruguayan fell to the ground, hitting a table on the way down.
That caused a cut to his head, but Valverde was visibly dizzy afterwards, with some reports claiming he also briefly lost consciousness. Valverde was taken to hospital in a wheelchair for stitches afterwards. Valverde ruled out with head trauma According to Marca , Valverde sustained a head trauma injury during the fall.
The recommendation is that he rests for 10-14 days in order to recover. It means he will miss Real Madrid’s clash with Barcelona this weekend, their home match with Real Oviedo next week, and their trip to Sevilla next weekend. He could potentially return in time to face Athletic Club at the Santiago Bernabeu in the final game of the season.
Valverde facing suspension for Tchouameni fight Shortly before that became public, Real Madrid announced that they had opened disciplinary proceedings against Valverde and Tchouameni. The pair are facing potential sanctions of between 3 and 20 games ban and loss of salary depending on what the result of their investigation is. The likelihood is that neither Tchouameni or Valverde feature again this season, depending on how quickly their disciplinary proceedings progress.
