Real Madrid have confirmed disciplinary action against Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni following a reported altercation during training.
Reports claimed tensions between both players escalated over two days before the disagreement reportedly became physical. The incident allegedly left Valverde with a minor injury after he hit his head and briefly lost consciousness.
The Spanish club has now addressed the matter publicly, revealing that both players were fined €500,000 after apologising to each other, their teammates, and the club.
It was also reported that the club held an emergency meeting after the situation intensified.
A statement released by Real Madrid read:
"Real Madrid C. F. announces that, following the events that led to the disciplinary proceedings initiated yesterday against our players Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouameni, both appeared today before the investigator assigned to the case.
"During their appearance, the players expressed their complete remorse for what happened and apologized to each other.
"Furthermore, they extended their apologies to the club, their teammates, the coaching staff, and the fans, and both have made themselves available to Real Madrid to accept whatever "sanction the club deems appropriate.
"Under these circumstances, Real Madrid has decided to impose a financial penalty of five hundred thousand euros on each player, thereby concluding the corresponding internal procedures."
