Real Madrid have opened disciplinary proceedings against Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni after a training-ground clash that reportedly led to Valverde being taken to hospital.

The pair were alleged to have come to blows at the end of Thursday’s training session, following a previous reported altercation on Wednesday.

A club statement read: “Real Madrid CF announces that, following the events that took place this morning in the first team training session, it has decided to open disciplinary proceedings against our players Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni.”
