Tchouaméni Fails to Complete France Training Session, Raising Concerns
Aurélien Tchouaméni has raised concerns for the France national team and Real Madrid after leaving Tuesday's training session due to groin discomfort. The midfielder will undergo medical tests to determine whether he will be available for the upcoming international matches.
The France national team is facing another setback during the current international break. Aurélien Tchouaméni, a midfielder for Real Madrid, was unable to complete Tuesday's training session after experiencing discomfort in his groin.
According to L'Équipe, the player will undergo medical examinations to assess the extent of the problem and determine whether he can remain with the national team.
The situation has raised concerns for both the coaching staff led by Zinedine Zidane and the Spanish club, which is closely monitoring the condition of one of its midfielders.
For now, there has been no official confirmation regarding the severity of the issue or how long the player could be sidelined.
France Could Be Without Tchouaméni Against Italy and Turkey
The potential absence of Tchouaméni would represent another setback for Zinedine Zidane, who has already been forced to make changes to his squad due to injuries.
Previously, Pierre Kalulu and Marcus Thuram were ruled out of the upcoming international fixtures because of physical problems.
Now, the French manager could also be forced to leave out the Real Madrid midfielder for the Nations League matches.
France is scheduled to visit Italy on Thursday before hosting Turkey on Sunday, with Tchouaméni's availability for both fixtures still uncertain.
Real Madrid Awaits Medical Test Results
Concerns have also extended to Real Madrid, which is closely following the French midfielder's situation.
The player had already missed the previous international squad in September and October because he had not yet returned to full fitness.
On that occasion, Zidane decided to leave him in Madrid following the adductor injury he suffered during the 2026 World Cup.
According to the available information, the Spanish club is still awaiting official communication from the French Football Federation regarding his condition.
The results of the medical examinations will be crucial in determining whether Tchouaméni remains with the national team or returns to Madrid to continue his recovery.
