On May 7, according to Cadena COPE, Real Madrid has officially initiated disciplinary procedures against Valverde and Tchouameni after two consecutive conflicts broke out between Valverde and Tchouameni.
According to Marca, the tense situation in the Real Madrid dressing room has deteriorated sharply in the past few hours. A new conflict between Valverde and Tchouameni, described as "extremely serious," erupted, with an intensity far exceeding previous frictions on the training ground, even causing Valverde to be forced to go to the hospital for medical treatment. After the incident, the club's senior management intervened urgently.
In the altercation between the two, Valverde was accidentally struck a heavy blow — not provoked intentionally by Tchouaméni — which reopened his wound and forced him to head to hospital.
Spanish outlet lasexta reported that Valverde had to get stitches due to the reopened wound, with Arbeloa accompanying him to the hospital.
