Real Madrid have reportedly been hit by a major internal crisis after a shocking altercation between midfield stars Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde left the Uruguayan requiring hospital treatment.

According to reports from Diario AS, tensions between the two players first surfaced during a heated verbal exchange on Wednesday. However, the situation escalated dramatically during Thursday’s training session at Valdebebas.

The confrontation allegedly continued inside the dressing room, where the argument turned physical. Teammates and staff rushed to separate the pair, but in the chaos Valverde reportedly fell and struck his head against a table, suffering a serious cut.

The midfielder was taken to hospital, where he received several stitches before later returning to the club’s training complex. The incident immediately triggered alarm within the hierarchy at Real Madrid, with general manager Jose Angel Sanchez said to have called an emergency meeting with the squad.

Reports in Spain suggest the club are now considering significant disciplinary action against both players. Sources close to the situation claim that Tchouameni and Valverde could face temporary suspension from first-team activities while the matter is investigated internally.

Perhaps most remarkably, the fallout may not end there. Real Madrid are reportedly prepared to consider the sale of one of the midfielders during the upcoming summer transfer window if tensions inside the dressing room cannot be resolved.
