Real Madrid have a mixed start to the season so far. Despite the steady run of wins in La Liga, the club have lagged behind league leaders Barcelona, with many of their star players lacking form.
Real Madrid’s task has been made much more difficult by a series of injuries, with a host of key players picking up knocks here and there.
Tchouameni picks up muscle injury
In yet another fresh blow for Real Madrid, it appears star midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has joined the list of absentees, no thanks to a fresh knock.
According to El Chiringuito, the French international has had to withdraw from training today after suffering a knock.
The report adds that Tchouameni has picked up a fresh muscle injury, which could serve as a major blow for Los Blancos.
With over 1000 minutes of action on the pitch, Tchouameni has been an ever-present figure in the Real Madrid midfield this season.
The Frenchman’s ability to control the tempo of the game, coupled with his ball circulation have been crucial for Real Madrid, especially following Toni Kroos’ retirement.
But with Tchouameni picking up a fresh injury, coach Carlo Ancelotti will once again have to deal with limited options in the middle of the park.
Fortunately for Los Blancos, Eduardo Camavinga has recently returned to full fitness and is likely to replace him in the holding midfield position.
As for Tchouameni’s injury is concerned, the report fails to mention the extent of his knock. But more details should be revealed in the coming hours.
