Fede Valverde misses training due to muscle fatigue

Fede Valverde played the full 90 minutes in Real Madrid’s UEFA Champions League match against Manchester City, but he did not take part in the club’s latest training session.

Details: According to insider Álvaro Esteban, the Uruguayan midfielder skipped training on Friday, 12 December. He is experiencing overload in the adductor muscle of his right leg.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid forward Endrick has been handed a two-match league ban for protesting against the referees. Carreras and Carvajal have also received two-match suspensions for disrespectful or contemptuous behaviour towards match officials.

Real Madrid’s next La Liga fixture is on Sunday, 14 December, against Alavés, followed by a match against Sevilla on 20 December. In addition, Los Blancos will face Talavera on 17 December in the Copa del Rey.

Reminder: Xabi Alonso’s future at Real Madrid remains under serious question.
