Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde was taken to hospital after a physical altercation with teammate Aurélien Tchouaméni during training on Thursday, just three days before El Clasico. Valverde required stitches after sustaining a cut during the fight, which broke out in the changing room following a practice match involving heavy challenges. According to sources, the tension between the two midfielders dates back to when Xabi Alonso was still at the club, and this was reportedly the second incident between them in two days.
