Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni will be unable to participate in the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund, as reported by “Marca”. The French international sustained a broken metatarsal bone in his left foot during the second leg of the semifinals against Bayern Munich, which Real Madrid won 2-1.
Despite consulting with multiple doctors, including specialists in the United States, Tchouaméni has been advised not to rush his recovery. Consequently, he will miss the crucial match at Wembley on June 1. His focus has now shifted to being fit for EURO 2024, which begins on June 14.

Tchouaméni’s absence is a significant blow to Real Madrid, as he has been a key player in their midfield throughout the season. His injury will force the team to adjust their strategy and lineup for the final against Dortmund, as most likely Eduardo Camavinga will start alongside Toni Kroos in midfield.
