Real Madrid CF have reportedly fined Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni €500,000 each following an alleged training ground incident ahead of El Clásico.
According to reports, the disciplinary action comes after tensions were said to have emerged during a high-intensity training session earlier in the week as the squad prepared for the crucial La Liga fixture.
The club is believed to have acted quickly to maintain discipline within the squad, especially given the importance of the upcoming match against FC Barcelona.
Neither Valverde nor Tchouaméni has publicly commented on the reported sanctions, but earlier statements from within the camp suggested any rumours of internal conflict were being exaggerated.
Real Madrid are said to be focused on ensuring full concentration ahead of one of the most significant fixtures of the season, with both players expected to remain available for selection despite the disciplinary issue.
