Real Madrid have fined Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni 500,000 euros (£432,000) each following their training-ground altercation.
The duo were reported to have fought at the end of Thursday’s training session following a previous incident on Wednesday.
Valverde went to hospital with a head injury after a dressing room row with Tchouameni but denied the pair “came to blows”.
Real said the two players expressed “complete remorse” during an internal disciplinary process which has resulted in hefty financial penalties.
