With only hours since the disappointing loss to AC Milan, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti faces a new dilemma as he loses another crucial player to injury. Midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni, who was substituted at halftime following a tough first half against Milan, has sustained an injury that will keep him sidelined for several weeks.
Contrary to earlier reports suggesting Ancelotti benched Tchouaméni as a disciplinary move, it’s now confirmed that the Frenchman suffered a sprained left ankle during a clash with Álvaro Morata. The 24-year-old, who had already been struggling with form, was visibly in discomfort as he limped off the pitch on Tuesday. Extensive medical evaluations on Wednesday revealed the full extent of his injury.
In an official statement, Real Madrid confirmed the diagnosis but did not specify his exact recovery period. However, reports from *Marca* and other Spanish media outlets suggest that Tchouaméni could be out for up to a month. This is a significant blow to Ancelotti’s plans, as Tchouaméni has been a vital part of the lineup this season.
With Tchouaméni unavailable, the door is now open for Eduardo Camavinga to step up and potentially secure more playing time. The Madrid squad will have to quickly adapt, as they prepare to host Osasuna this Saturday—a team that has shown promise in their early season form. Fans will be watching closely to see if Real Madrid can regain their momentum and re-establish their rhythm on the pitch.
