Tchouameni: It is not Gavi’s fault. I got injured at the end of the first half.

Tchouameni insisted Gavi wasn't to blame for his injury after their clash during El Clásico 

Images emerged from DAZN where it was highlighted that Tchouameni was feeling his toe following a challenge with Gavi in the second half. Gavi catches him slightly on his way past.

Tchouameni then responded on Twitter though, noting that ‘It’s not Gavi’s fault. I got injured at the end of the first half.’

He will now miss around two months of action with a fractured metatarsal.

His response will prevent Madridistas going after Gavi for injuring him on social media, and perhaps influencing public opinion on what has been sensitive issue in the past. The Blaugrana midfielder’s passionate approach has sometimes got him on the wrong side of Real Madrid fans, and Spain fans, who have whistled him in the past. This now appears to be in the past, after recent performances proved that Gavi is one of the best La Roja have.

Aurélien Tchouaméni will be out for 6/8 weeks after new injury. He has been diagnosed with an incomplete stress fracture in the second metatarsal of the left foot.
