Real Madrid's Valverde treated in hospital after Tchouameni clash: reports

Uruguay international Valverde, who was accompanied to the hospital facility near the club's Valdebebas training complex by Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa, needed stitches to treat a facial wound, according to the reports. The two players rowed on Wednesday in training and their argument continued on Thursday during and after the session. Spanish newspaper Marca, who first reported the story, said Valverde's cut was caused unintentionally and not directly by a punch from France midfielder Tchouameni.
