Real Madrid's preparation for next month's UEFA Champions League final has been marred by a major injury setback.

The Spanish giants' victory over German Bundesliga powerhouses, Bayern Munich, could be overshadowed by this blow to their squad.

However, an injury setback is looming over them prior to the showdown at Wembley on June 1. French midfielder, Aurelien Tchouameni's participation is uncertain after he was hurt in the clash against Bayern.

Fabrizio Romano took to social media to shed more light on this development.

"Aurélien Tchouaméni has been diagnosed with a stress injury in his left foot. '[Evaluation] pending', Real Madrid reports. 23 days to go for the Champions League final."

A statement from the club, via Sports Mole, confirmed the contents of Fabrizio's tweet and the Frenchman is now a major doubt for the Champions League final.

How Tchouameni has fared this season

Tchouameni has proved crucial for Ancelotti's team in the 2023/24 season, featuring in 38 matches across all competitions.

Despite a left foot fracture late last year that sidelined him for five La Liga fixtures and three Champions League group-stage matches, the 24-year-old returned without issue.
