League decider El Clásico will be played in Spotify Camp Nou on Sunday, but the latest reports indicate very unpleasant news for Real Madrid, which is the exit of their key midfielder Fede Valverde.

Injury Crisis

Real Madrid is already going through an injury crisis with the absence of key players including Rodrygo, Arda Güler, Ferland Mendy, and Dani Carvajal, but Mbappé is expected to come back in El Clásico as per COPE.

Incident during training shocks fans

Fede Valverde is expected to miss the La Liga match due to a brain injury caused by fighting with Tchouaméni during training time. This unfortunate event caused a major shock among the fans and could seriously affect the atmosphere and discipline within the squad. Yesterday Tchouameni and Fede Valverde were involved in a verbal argument, but today it turned into a physical assault, which leads to the hospitalization of Fede Valverde.

The player is suffering a traumatic injury at this stage and even having memory issues. As per Fabrizio Romano, the player needs 1 week of rest to recover and will miss Sunday's El Clásico.
