Real Madrid Star Fede Valverde Hospitalised After Fierce Clash with Aurelien Tchouameni

Marca indicates that the altercation between the pair of Real Madrid players necessitated involvement from multiple squad members, proving far more intense than the earlier episode on Wednesday.

Insiders from the locker room disclosed that tensions escalated when Valverde declined to greet Tchouameni with a handshake that morning, sparking an extremely confrontational practice session which concluded with the Uruguayan receiving a severe impact, prompting his hospital visit.

Internal strife among colleagues represents just one challenge for the La Liga powerhouse, with another update from Thursday suggesting that up to six team members have cut ties with Alvaro Arbeloa.

Ongoing issues linked to Kylian Mbappe have further complicated the situation, as a vast number of fans have endorsed an "Mbappe Out" campaign.

Such distractions offer poor groundwork ahead of Real Madrids critical encounter against Barcelona this Sunday, underscoring the urgency for Florentino Perez to orchestrate a squad overhaul come summertime.
