"Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde had to be taken to hospital after getting into a fight with teammate Aurélien Tchouaméni just three days before El Clásico against Barcelona, sources told ESPN. The fight broke out during training Thursday and comes just a day after Marca reported that the two midfielders had already been involved in an altercation during Wednesday's training session."
"Valverde, according to a source, required stitches after sustaining a cut during the scrap with Tchouaméni. Madrid announced they have opened disciplinary proceedings against both players. "The club will announce the resolutions of both cases in due course, once the corresponding internal procedures have been completed," the LaLiga club said in a statement."
"A source has told ESPN that the fight broke out at the end of training, following a practice match with some heavy challenges. Tchouaméni went to the changing room, and Valverde then entered, looking very tense. That's where they got into a fight, the source said."
"A second source told ESPN that Valverde kicked Tchouaméni during training, then they insulted each other, and Tchouaméni went for Valverde and hit him badly. The tension between them started when Xabi Alonso was still at the club, the source added."
