Aurelien Tchouameni Faces Major Setback with Injury

Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni suffered a sprained ankle during a Champions League match against AC Milan, where he was substituted at halftime. This injury occurred in the 3-1 defeat at home on November 5, 2024, a match in which Tchouameni had difficulties and lost possession contributing to a goal. The 24-year-old vice-captain for France will now miss at least four weeks of play, which includes important matches for both his club and national team. Tchouameni's absence will affect Real Madrid's upcoming La Liga fixture against Osasuna and their Nations League matches against Israel and Italy. Since joining from AS Monaco, he has established himself as a key player, starting all La Liga matches and being involved in every Champions League game this season up to this point. This injury could impact both his and the team's performance in the upcoming crucial fixtures. Real Madrid will face major challenges in the absence of Tchouameni, particularly with their busy schedule following the international break. They are set to play against Leganes in La Liga and then have a critical Champions League tie away to Liverpool, as well as a league match against Getafe shortly thereafter. Tchouameni's injury serves as a crucial setback not only for him personally but also for Real Madrid as they aim to compete for titles on multiple fronts this season.
