Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni and Fede Valverde are facing an internal disciplinary proceeding from the club and will likely be sidelined and suspended without pay until the end of the season, club sources told Managing Madrid. The club is still investigating Thursday’s confrontation, which ended with Valverde needing to be taken to hospital to get some stitches after hitting his head with a table inside the dressing room. The Uruguayan midfielder was diagnosed with a concussion and will miss the next two weeks while the club keeps investigating.

In the meantime, Real Madrid will visit Barcelona to play the last El Clásico of the season and they will do so without their two key midfielders.
