Velverde, Tchouameni face strict punishment after ‘serious fight’ during training
Real Madrid have been plunged into a state of turmoil after midfielder Federico Valverde was reportedly hospitalised following a “very serious” brawl with his team-mate Aurelien Tchouameni.
Reports say the tension between both players, which has been brewing between the pair over a foul during Wednesday’s training session, snowballed into a bloody confrontation which left Velverde with a cut from an accidental blow.
The face-off between the pair which transpired during Thursday’s training forced Velverde to seek treatment in the emergency room in a bust-up described as “much worse” than previous disagreements.
Club coach, Alvaro Arbeloa has now been forced to summon an emergency meeting to address a dressing room that is spiralling out of control ahead of this weekend’s El Classico game against Barcelona.

Under-fire Kylian Mbappe who has been fingered as the central figure behind the ongoing saga in the team’s dressing room did little to help his already tainted image when footage of him appearing to be laughing and smiling at the situation as he was driving away from the training ground, emerged online.
Mbappe’s antics comes as fans of Real Madrid launched a campaign to kick the French striker out of the club.
The move to kick Mbappe out of Madrid came after a report revealed that the player has been described by staff members of the club as a bad teammate and bad player.
The report further alleged that during a recent training session, Mbappe even confronted club coach Arbeloa and caused a scene over an issue with a member of staff.
