Madrid's Tchouameni fractured foot could miss 8 weeks

Real Madrid French midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni could miss up to two months with a foot fracture, Spanish reports said Sunday. Real Madrid announced the nature of the injury. Midfielder Aurelien Chouamini suffered during the match against Barcelona on Sunday in the eleventh round of the Spanish League.  The France international presumably sustained the injury during La Liga leaders Madrid's 2-1 Clasico win at Barcelona on Saturday, although he was not substituted during the game. Madrid did not specify the length of Tchouameni's expected absence in a statement Sunday but said he has suffered "an incomplete stress fracture in the second metatarsal of his left foot". Tchouameni's absence will allow his compatriot Eduardo Camavinga more chances to play in midfield.  Madrid currently has goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and defender Eder Militao out long-term. Tchouameni is expected to miss the rest of Los Blancos' Champions’ League group stage campaign but could return before the Spanish Super Cup in January. Real Madrid leads the Spanish League table after defeating Barcelona 2-1 with 28 points, equally with Girona.
