Valverde and Tchouaméni hit with huge Real Madrid fines
Real Madrid announced on that Fede Valverde and AurĂ©lien TchouamĂ©ni have each been fined âŹ500,000 following an internal disciplinary process.
The amount is believed to be unprecedented in the clubâs history, although neither player has received a sporting suspension.
Tensions between the pair reportedly escalated after an altercation during Wednesdayâs match, before boiling over again in training on Thursday. According to reports, Valverde accused TchouamĂ©ni of leaking details of the dispute to the media.
Accounts of the incident vary, but the Uruguay international was later taken to hospital after suffering a blow to the head. Valverde required stitches and was diagnosed with concussion symptoms.
Despite the incident, Real Madrid decided not to hand either player a sporting punishment. TchouamĂ©ni will therefore remain available for this weekendâs El ClĂĄsico against Barcelona, while Valverde is expected to be sidelined for up to two weeks through injury.
Sundayâs clash could prove decisive in the LaLiga title race, with Barcelona needing only a draw to secure the championship.
In an official statement, Real Madrid confirmed both players had apologised to each other, the club, their team-mates, coaching staff and supporters before the fines were issued.
