For both Real Madrid and Tchouameni, this is heartbreaking news. After a rough first season in the Spanish capital, the French midfielder had made a name for himself as an indisputable starter. His defensive presence was crucial in Ancelotti’s diamond formation and Madrid will only have Eduardo Camavinga as a pure defensive midfielder who can replace Tchouameni in that formation.

Tchouameni should return right away following the Christmas break, but it will require patience for him to fully heal from this difficult fracture.
