Real Madrid’s triumphant comeback against Bayern Munich in the Champions League semifinal was marred by a significant setback as Aurelien Tchouameni sustained a stress injury to his left foot. The midfielder’s injury casts doubt over his availability for the upcoming Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund on June 1.
During the intense clash against Bayern, Tchouameni was forced off the field in the 69th minute, leaving Real Madrid to secure victory without his presence. The recurrence of a similar injury suffered earlier in the season raises concerns about his fitness for the crucial final showdown.
Reports suggest that there is only a slim 20 percent chance of Tchouameni recovering in time for the final. Should he fail to regain full fitness, Carlo Ancelotti may turn to Eduardo Camavinga as an alternative in midfield.
With the La Liga title already secured, Real Madrid’s focus now shifts entirely to preparing for the Champions League final. The club remains hopeful of Tchouameni’s swift recovery, recognizing his importance to their midfield. As the countdown to the final continues, all eyes are on Tchouameni’s rehabilitation progress and his race against time to feature in the pinnacle of European club football.
If the French midfielder can’t recover in time for the Final, expect Eduardo Camavinga to start as the team’s defensive midfielder alongside Toni Kroos and Fede Valverde, with Modric being the main midfielder off the bench later in the game.
