Real Madrid midfielder set to undergo tests after suffering injury in national team camp The international break has just begun but it appears that disaster has already struck as far as Real Madrid are concerned. One of their key players, Aurelien Tchouameni has suffered an injury while away with the France national team, reports L’Equipe . Tchouameni injured again Tchouameni missed the start of the 2026/27 season due to an injury he had sustained with France at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. While he returned to action in September, new France manager Zinedine Zidane opted not to call him up to the squad during the previous international break, giving him time to fully recover his fitness and rhythm.

However, as per the report, Tchouameni was forced to stop training during today’s session after suffering a groin injury. Having been unable to complete the session, the 26-year-old midfielder will now undergo tests to determine the nature and severity of the injury. Once that is done, it will be decided whether Tchouameni will travel to Italy with the rest of the France squad return to the club. Concern for Real Madrid As already mentioned, Tchouameni has once again become an integral part of the Real Madrid setup under Jose Mourinho. A key cog in Mourinho’s system.

Since returning from injury, he has made ten appearances for Real Madrid in all competitions, starting eight of those, indicating the faith that Mourinho has in him. As such, if Tchouameni is injured with the France national team camp, it will come as a big blow for Los Blancos heading into an important stretch of the season. For now, those at Valdebebas will be eagerly awaiting results of the French international’s medical examinations and hoping that the groin issue he is dealing with does not turn out to be something serious.
