00:00Even within a bleak season for Real Madrid, Thursday's events at the Val de Bebas training
00:04complex will go down as a very dark day in the history of the club. In case you missed it,
00:09Freddy Valverde and Aurelio Chiwomeni were involved in a series of altercations in the
00:14last two days, culminating in a physical confrontation that left Valverde needing
00:18stitches. Here's the timeline of what happened. Valverde and Chiwomeni first clashed in a team
00:24training session on Wednesday, and things continued when they returned to the facility
00:28the following day. On Thursday morning, Valverde refused to shake Chiwomeni's hand, accusing him
00:33of leaking stories to the press. Throughout the Thursday's session, both players put in hard
00:37tackles on each other, but it was only after they returned to the locker room that things
00:41really got out of hand. Our sources in Madrid report that Valverde continued to confront Chiwomeni
00:47until the Frenchman threw a punch that sent his teammate to the ground. It's thought that it
00:52was the fall rather than the punch itself that left Valverde with a cut on his face.
00:56He was then taken to a local hospital and received stitches. The club responded on
01:01Thursday evening by releasing a statement announcing that both players would be subject
01:05to disciplinary proceedings. For now, we'll have to wait for the outcome of that investigation.
01:10But what is certain is that it will take some very careful management
01:13to get these two key players back in the same team in Madrid.
01:17Let's do it.
01:17Let's do it.
