Real Madrid unhappy with Arbeloa’s inaction during Valverde-Tchouameni spat

The tension within Real Madrid’s dressing room reached a boiling point during today’s training session, as Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni were involved in a major bust-up that got physical and led to the former paying a visit to the hospital.

The two had already been involved in a verbal confrontation on Wednesday, but things escalated to a whole new level today.

Arbeloa’s inactivity concerns Real Madrid

And, according to AS, Real Madrid are far from pleased with manager Alvaro Arbeloa and his inaction during the training session, allowing the issue to escalate to such degree.

As previously reported, Valverde spent the entire training session accusing Tchouaméni of leaking details regarding their Wednesday’s altercations to the press.

The second club captain was relentless in his verbal pursuit of the French midfielder, repeatedly blaming him for the media firestorm that followed their dressing-room spat earlier this week.

The confrontation created a deeply uncomfortable environment for the rest of the squad as they attempted to prepare for Sunday’s El Clasico.

However, the most significant fallout from the session concerns the conduct of manager Arbeloa.
