New details have emerged regarding the aftermath of the physical altercation between Real Madrid midfielders Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde that took place at the training ground on Thursday.

In what was an incident where things got out of hand and turned ugly, Los Blancos have already opened disciplinary proceedings against both players.

Meanwhile, Valverde, who hit his head on a table during the alleged fight, has been ruled out of action for 10-14 days due to ‘traumatic brain injury’.

Tchouameni left deeply hurt

Now, El Chiringuito reports that Tchouameni has been left deeply affected and hurt by the incident that took place on Thursday.

While Valverde was taken to receive medical attention for stitches following the scuffle, members of the coaching staff stayed behind with the French international.

One staff member pulled the midfielder aside for an extended conversation aimed at de-escalating the tension and calming him down.

The incident has come as a shock to those within the club, as Tchouameni is widely regarded as one of the most level-headed and responsible figures in the Real Madrid dressing room.

The report indicates that this was his first involvement in a confrontation of this nature, leaving the player feeling isolated and confused by the sudden escalation.

Throughout the afternoon, staff worked to “lower the temperature” of the situation and understand the specific triggers that led to the brawl.

Despite their efforts, Tchouameni was described as being in a state of significant distress and left the Valdebebas facility later than usual, clearly affected by the unpleasantness of the event.

Real Madrid’s focus now remains on managing the emotional fallout of the “Civil War” in the locker room, while simultaneously preparing for Sunday’s El Clasico.

Real Madrid will be looking to pick up their fifth win of the 2026/27 La Liga season when they take on Elche CF at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero later tonight.

With 12 points from five games, Los Blancos are currently second in the league table, three points below leaders FC Barcelona.

As such, the Spanish capital club will be eager to get the win and close the gap to the top.

Guler starts, Bellingham rested

Ahead of kickoff, Real Madrid have announced the starting lineup that will take the field against Elche, with Jose Mourinho making some important changes.

For starters, Arda Guler is back in the lineup after appearing as a substitute in the win over Rayo Vallecano.

Interestingly, however, he starts in the attacking midfield role, with Mourinho opting to rest Jude Bellingham, who has started all of Real Madrid’s games so far.

That also means that Yan Diomande retains his place in the team, starting for a second time in a row on the right wing. Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. continue in their respective positions in attack.

Another notable change sees Aurelien Tchouameni make his first start of the season after recovering from injury and making two appearances off the bench.

He replaces Bernardo Silva as Federico Valverde’s partner in the middle of the park.

Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Marc Cucurella come in as full-backs, while Ibrahima Konate and Dean Huijsen slot in at centre-back in front of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
