Real Madrid have announced that Aurelien Tchouaméni and Fede Valverde will be investigated by their disciplinary committee, following widespread reports of a training ground fight between the two. Valverde was taken to hospital after the incident to receive stitches for a cut to the head.

The dressing room incident resulted in Valverde being knocked to the floor and hitting his head off a table on the way down. After showing signs of dizziness, he was taken to hospital in a wheelchair.
