Mbappe and Tchouameni take part in Real Madrid training ahead of El Clasico
Kylian Mbappé returned to training on Friday after recovering from a hamstring injury, boosting Real Madrid ahead of their El Clásico showdown with Barcelona. Aurélien Tchouaméni was also involved in the session following a reported altercation with teammate Federico Valverde.
Top scorer Mbappé had been sidelined for two weeks but Real confirmed the French forward completed part of the group session just two days before the trip to Barcelona.
Tchouaméni’s participation came a day after his clash with Valverde, an incident which reportedly left the Uruguayan requiring stitches.
The club has confirmed that disciplinary proceedings have been launched against both players following the training-ground incident, which is one of several recent clashes within the squad.
Tensions are reportedly running high at Real Madrid amid the growing possibility of a second straight season without a major trophy.
Barcelona, meanwhile, sit 11 points clear at the top of the table and need only a draw in El Clásico to secure another Spanish league title.
