Real Madrid confirmed on Thursday morning that one of its key starting players has suffered a stress injury to his left foot, just over three weeks before the Champions League final. The player, Aurelien Tchouameni, underwent tests by the Real Madrid Medical Services which revealed the injury. The club mentioned that his condition is 'pending evolution.'
Tchouameni played in the recent Champions League semifinal second leg against Bayern Munich, starting in a midfield role. Unfortunately, he had to be substituted due to the foot injury shortly after Bayern Munich scored, impacting his performance in the game.
There are concerns about Tchouameni's fitness for the upcoming final on June 1, as he has a history of foot injuries, having missed 11 games previously due to a fractured left foot last October. However, sources suggest that there is currently no immediate risk of him missing the final.
Real Madrid may have defensive options in Eder Militao for the final, which could influence the lineup decisions of head coach Carlo Ancelotti. In midfield, the absence of Tchouameni could open up opportunities for other players like Eduardo Camavinga or Luka Modric to step up.
The injury to Tchouameni adds a layer of uncertainty to Real Madrid's preparations for the Champions League final, where they will face Borussia Dortmund. The club will be closely monitoring Tchouameni's recovery in the lead-up to the crucial match.
As the final approaches, Real Madrid fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on Tchouameni's condition and the team's lineup for the decisive clash at Wembley.
