From here, both players were responsible for heavy tackles on one another on the training pitch.
After the session, as Ălvaro Arbeloaâs squad headed back to the dressing room, Valverde is understood to have repeatedly accused his French teammate of leaking information regarding their argument on Wednesday to the media.
This caused Valverde to fall to the ground, hitting his head, and opening a considerable gash which later required stitches.
The all-action midfielder, who was in and out of consciousness at the time, was loaded into a wheelchair, before being taken directly to hospital for tests and treatment.
