Tchouaméni is a last-minute withdrawal from Real Madrid's squad to face Las Palmas at the Bernabéu.
Aurélien Tchouaméni has withdrawn from Real Madrid's squad for today's LaLiga match against Las Palmas, with the club explaining that the Frenchman is suffering from “discomfort in his left leg”.
How many games will Tchouaméni miss?
Tchouaméni's withdrawal at the eleventh hour is considered a precautionary measure by Madrid. The 24-year-old could indeed return for next week's Champions League match against RB Salzburg.
Although initial tests on the midfielder have yielded a positive prognosis, the former Monaco player will undergo a more extensive examination tomorrow.
Tchouaméni was set to start in midfield against Las Palmas after bouncing back from criticism of his recent performances as a makeshift defender by performing well in the engine room during Thursday's Copa del Rey win over Celta Vigo.
He joins compatriot Eduardo Camavinga in the sickbay after his fellow midfielder was ruled out this week with a hamstring injury.
With Luka Modric suspended, Dani Ceballos looks to be in pole position to get into Madrid's midfield for today's LaLiga match on matchday 20, which starts at 10:15am ET.
Who else is injured/suspended for Real Madrid?
In addition to Tchouaméni and Camavinga, Madrid's injury list also includes long-term casualties Dani Carvajal and Éder Militao (both ACL). Together with Modric, Vinícius Júnior is not available for Las Palmas due to suspension.
