"Two statements from the club on Thursday revealed an incident in the first-team training session involving midfielders Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni, with the former suffering head trauma. It's now emerged that Valverde needed stitches after a second altercation in as many days with his teammate. After a full and frank exchange of views in Wednesday's training session at Valdebebas, Valverde then accused Tchouameni of leaking news of that exchange, resulting in an unseemly tussle where the Uruguayan fell and hit his head on a table."
"Real Madrid are on their darkest timeline this season, with zero trophies collected, a systemic rebuild under Xabi Alonso quickly shelved, and the very real prospect of handing Barcelona the league title in Sunday's clasico. Months of speculation about dressing-room discord have now come to a head. The Valverde incident arrives days after the knacked Kylian Mbappe drew heat for taking a romantic getaway in Sardinia, not long after a reported bust-up with a coach back at Valdebebas who had the temerity to flag him offside."
"An online petition calling for Mbappe to leave Real Madrid has received and you'll like this 32 million signatures.

Two club statements revealed an incident during first-team training involving Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni, with Valverde suffering head trauma. Valverde required stitches after a second altercation in as many days with his teammate. After a full exchange of views in Wednesday’s training session at Valdebebas, Valverde accused Tchouameni of leaking news of the exchange, leading to a tussle in which Tchouameni fell and hit his head on a table. The incidents add to broader reports of unrest, including a reported bust-up involving Kylian Mbappé and a coach, and a petition calling for Mbappé to leave Real Madrid. Antonio Rüdiger was also reported to be involved in another training-ground row.
