Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni has been facing ongoing fitness issues, causing him to miss the club’s opening match against Espanyol and likely sidelining him for the match against Real Sociedad.

By late August, Tchouaméni continued to train separately from the main group. Manager Jose Mourinho indicated that the club would not rush his return, stating the player must reach ‘one hundred percent’ fitness before reintegrating. Additionally, forward Endrick was reported to be recovering from minor muscular tendinitis.
