Real Madrid issue Fede Valverde injury update after Jose Mourinho fumes over unpunished Kang-in Lee tackle
Valverde managed to stay on the pitch to complete the game, but his mobility was clearly hampered in the final stages. The severity of the diagnosis puts his upcoming participation with the Uruguayan national team in major doubt, as Diego Forlan’s side prepare for two international friendlies against Japan on September 24 and South Korea on September 28.
Valverde has been an indispensable figure for Mourinho this season, establishing himself as a key starter in the Portuguese manager’s setup. The midfielder has featured in all eight matches across all competitions so far, chipping in with a goal in the Champions League.
