Madrid, May 9 (VOICE) Real Madrid’s 2-1 win at home to Bayern Munich that booked them a place in the UEFA Champions League final has come at a cost with the confirmation that French international Aurelien Tchouameni has suffered a stress injury to his left foot.
The club confirmed Tchouameni’s injury on its official website on Thursday, the day after two late goals from striker Joselu saw them overturn a Bayern Munich lead in the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium to earn them a final appearance against Borussia Dortmund at Wembley.
“Following tests carried out on our player Aurelien Tchouameni today by Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a stress injury in his left foot. His recovery will be monitored,” informed the Real Madrid website.
Although the club hasn’t given a return date, if Tchouameni has suffered a stress fracture, he won’t play again in La Liga this season and has little chance of recovering in time for the Champions League final, as well as being a slight doubt for the French team to play in this summer’s UEFA European Championship, reports .
Tchouameni has adapted well to La Liga this season after disappointment in his first campaign at Real Madrid, providing a solid presence in central midfield and also showing his adaptability to play well in central defense after the knee injuries suffered by David Alaba and Eder Militao.
