The medical report confirms that Valverde is suffering from a head trauma and will not be able to play in ‘El Clásico’ against FC Barcelona. According to the information, the injury occurred following an incident during Thursday's training session at Valdebebas.

In the statement released by Real Madrid, the diagnosis and the estimated recovery period, set between ten and fourteen days, are detailed, ruling him out of the weekend’s match.

The day at the training ground was marked by a conflict between Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni. The statement places the origin in a prior confrontation and a discussion that continued during the morning session.

According to the AS newspaper, Valverde reproached Tchouaméni for an alleged leak to the press about the clash between them. According to that version, after several exchanges, the French midfielder ended up assaulting his teammate with a punch, causing the Uruguayan to fall and hit his head against a table.

The player left the training center in a wheelchair and was taken to a hospital where, after tests, he was diagnosed with head trauma. Due to the seriousness of what happened, the club announced the application of its disciplinary code: files have been opened against both players and the sanction, as Javier Herráez advanced on Cadena SER, is almost certainly going to be financial and sporting.
