Real Madrid have confirmed disciplinary action against Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni following an internal investigation into recent events involving both players.

Both players were fined €500k each after they were involved in a serious incident during Thursday’s training session that reportedly led to captain Valverde being admitted to the hospital.

In a statement released by the club, Madrid said the duo appeared before the investigator assigned to the case and expressed “complete remorse” for their actions.

"Real Madrid C. F. announces that, following the events that led to the disciplinary proceedings initiated yesterday against our players Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni, both appeared today before the investigator assigned to the case,” a statement from the club read.

“During their appearance, the players expressed their complete remorse for what happened and apologised to each other.

"Furthermore, they extended their apologies to the club, their teammates, the coaching staff, and the fans, and both have made themselves available to Real Madrid to accept whatever sanction the club deems appropriate.

"Under these circumstances, Real Madrid has decided to impose a financial penalty of five hundred thousand euros on each player, thereby concluding the corresponding internal procedures. "
