What began as lingering tension after a previous argument escalated into a physical altercation that forced their teammates to step in and separate them at the training ground.<\/p>\n<p>Details of the clash<\/p>\n<p>The spark ignited when the Uruguayan directly accused Tchouam\u00e9ni of leaking details to the press about an argument that had taken place the day before. Although the Frenchman denied the accusations and asked him to stop, Valverde\u2019s persistence eventually wore out the midfielder\u2019s patience. In a burst of anger, Tchouam\u00e9ni struck Valverde, who suffered a head wound when he fell to the ground. The scene was so dramatic that the Uruguayan had to leave Valdebebas in a wheelchair bound for a hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Crisis cabinet and sanctions<\/p>\n<p>Given the seriousness of the events, the club has set up an unprecedented crisis cabinet. No player has been allowed to leave the facilities while the board analyzes severe disciplinary sanctions. With harmony shattered, the team is facing its most critical moment of the season under an atmosphere of absolute nervousness.<\/p>\n<p>This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. <a href=\"https:\/\/onefootball.com\/es\/noticias\/crisis-en-real-madrid-los-detalles-de-la-pelea-entre-valverde-y-tchoaumeni-42829019\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:You can read the original version in \ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddf8 here.;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;You can read the original version in \ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddf8 here.&quot;}\" class=\"link \">You can read the original version in \ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddf8 here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Real Madrid\u2019s stability has been blown apart after an extremely serious clash between Fede Valverde and Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18731,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[2531,2119,82,10271,83,10273,10272],"class_list":{"0":"post-18730","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-madrid","8":"tag-aurelien-tchouameni","9":"tag-fede-valverde","10":"tag-madrid","11":"tag-physical-altercation","12":"tag-real-madrid","13":"tag-training-ground","14":"tag-unprecedented-crisis"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18730","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18730"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18730\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18731"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18730"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18730"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18730"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
