Real Madrid has issued €500,000 (around $588,627 USD) fines to midfielders Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni after the physical altercation at the team's headquarters that ended with Valverde in the hospital.

After reports surfaced Thursday, May 7, about a fight in the locker room at the club's training ground, Uruguayan midfielder Valverde posted a statement apologizing for the incident to the club, its fans and to his teammates. He also said that, while he suffered an injury, the two never came to blows.

Those proceedings have been wrapped up quickly as the club passed down the fine to both players and now considers the matter closed.
