Real Madrid will be without key player Aurelien Tchouameni for the upcoming Champions League final at Wembley, as confirmed by the club's medical services. Tchouameni suffered a stress injury to his left foot during the UCL semifinal second leg against Bayern Munich, forcing him to be substituted shortly after Bayern's opening goal.
The initial injury assessment indicated no risk of missing the final, but subsequent developments have ruled Tchouameni out of contention for the crucial match. The 24-year-old midfielder is now focused on recovering in time for the European Championships with the French national team.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti will likely turn to a midfield duo of Toni Kroos and Eduardo Camavinga in Tchouameni's absence. This situation also opens up opportunities in the central defensive positions, with Eder Militao, Toni Rudiger, and Nacho vying for starting roles.
Tchouameni's versatility in defense will be missed, as he often deputized in that role when needed. His absence will undoubtedly impact Madrid's tactical setup for the final showdown at Wembley.
Meanwhile, the French national team coach Didier Deschamps will monitor Tchouameni's recovery closely to determine his availability for the upcoming European Championships in Germany.
Real Madrid fans will be hoping for a swift recovery for Tchouameni, as his absence will be felt in the crucial stages of the season. The club will need to adapt quickly to cope with the loss of a key player as they aim to secure another European title.
