Real Madrid crisis: bust-up streak ends with midfielder in hospital 🏥

Real Madrid has plunged into an institutional and disciplinary crisis over the last two days, according to information from the Spanish newspaper Marca.

Midfielders Fede Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni were involved in two violent incidents at the club’s training center, resulting in the Uruguayan being hospitalized and an emergency meeting of the club’s top leadership.

The tense atmosphere began on Wednesday (6). According to MARCA, during a tactical drill, the two players started a heated argument after a particularly hard challenge.

What seemed to be just the "heat of training" quickly turned into personal insults.

In this first incident, the players even exchanged shoves and had to be separated by teammates before things got worse.

However, their encounter again on Thursday (7) proved the matter was far from over. Right at the start of the training session, the hostility between Valverde and Tchouaméni escalated into direct physical aggression.

In the middle of the chaos, Fede Valverde ended up coming off worse, suffering an impact that led to him being taken immediately to a hospital.

Preliminary information indicates that he suffered a deep cut to the head after hitting part of the training ground furniture during the physical confrontation.

The seriousness of the events forced an immediate response from president Florentino Pérez and the club’s top leadership. A "crisis cabinet" was set up at the club’s training center.

No player or staff member was allowed to leave the training center until the initial fact-finding meetings had been completed.
