Real Madrid midfielders nearly come to blows four days before El Clasico

Tension at Real Madrid is higher than ever, and it is being played out at Valdebebas. Following reports that Antonio Rudiger slapped teammatee Alvaro Carreras last month, a second incident occurred on Wednesday in training.

After a series of incidents between them, Rudiger reportedly slapped Carreras in the Real Madrid dressing room, something he later apologised for and organised a lunch with his teammates and their families by way of further apology. The Real Madrid left-back all but confirmed this was the case, but said the matter had been resolved on social media.

As reported by Marca, France midfielder and Uruguayan international Fede Valverde are the latest pair to be involved in a heated argument in training, coming close to a physical altercation. They say that after a particularly aggressive foul, the two went face-to-face, and after plenty of shoving, were separated. The two maintained their argument, and it continued into the dressing room afterwards.
