Real Madrid have now confirmed that the player had suffered a stress injury to his left foot.
Providing more clarity on the injury, French outlet, L’Equipe stated that Tchouameni has been playing with pain in his foot for a while now.
Carlo Ancelotti sees the player as essential to his team’s dynamics, and as such the midfielder has been playing through the pain and has always been ready to give his all.
The report added that Tchouameni is expected to be out for at least three to four weeks, a move that means the Frenchman will be unavailable for the UCL final at Wembley.
Tchouameni has been able to help stabilize the defense in the absence of Real Madrid’s recognized center-backs.
