LaLiga: Real Madrid fine Valverde, Tchouaméni €500,000 each
Real Madrid have confirmed that the club has fined Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni €500,000 each, which is said to be the highest disciplinary fine in the club’s history.
The decision follows an altercation between the two midfielders during a training session.
Reports say the incident led to Valverde being taken to hospital after suffering what was described as a “traumatic brain injury”.
Tchouaméni has since returned to training on Friday, while Valverde is expected to miss this weekend’s LaLiga match against Barcelona as he continues recovery.
The club’s statement read: “Real Madrid C.F. announces that, following the events that led to the opening of disciplinary proceedings yesterday against our players Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni, both appeared today before the investigating officer.
“During their appearance, the players expressed their sincere regret for what happened and apologized to each other.
“They also conveyed their apologies to the club, their teammates, the coaching staff, and the fans, and both offered their full cooperation to Real Madrid, ready to accept whatever sanction the club deems appropriate.
“In light of these circumstances, Real Madrid has decided to impose a fine of five hundred thousand euros on each player, thus concluding the corresponding internal procedures.”
