Federico Valverde continues to make progress in his recovery process at Real Madrid following the incident involving Aurélien Tchouaméni that resulted in a traumatic brain injury and precautionary hospitalization for the midfielder.

The incident caused concern within the club and reportedly led to fines of €500,000 for both players. Real Madrid immediately activated the standard medical protocol for this type of injury, including rest and continuous monitoring to avoid any risks. Initial estimates suggested an absence of between 10 and 14 days.

During the latest training session, Valverde completed part of the work alongside his teammates. The midfielder participated in low-intensity drills such as rondos and finishing exercises but avoided any physical contact or impact situations.

According to sources within the club, the player is still following strict medical instructions, with no exercises involving potential physical risk currently permitted.

Real Madrid’s medical staff intends to fully respect the established recovery protocol before authorizing Valverde’s complete return to competition.

Although his recovery is progressing positively, the final decision will depend on medical approval in the coming days. If the evaluations are satisfactory, Valverde could potentially be included in the squad for the match against Athletic Bilbao.
