Real Madrid Hit by Injury Scare as Aurélien Tchouaméni Quits France Camp with Groin Issue
France will miss the Real Madrid midfielder for Nations League matches after he reinjured the same right adductor area that sidelined him at the World Cup.
On Tuesday, 26-year-old Tchouam left the France national team camp at Clairefontaine after suffering a right adductor injury during training.
This recurrence affects the same right adductor area that sidelined the midfielder during the 2026 World Cup and the September-October international break.
Consulting with Real Madrid, the French Football Federation decided to release Tchouam for treatment in Madrid, in agreement with the player.
Without the midfielder, Les Bleus will face Italy and Türkiye in the UEFA Nations League, as France coach Zinedine Zidane opted not to name a replacement.
Following the setback, Real Madrid faces an anxious wait; previous similar injuries required around 30 days of recovery for the team's key midfield anchor Tchouam.
The staff of Les Bleus announced on Tuesday night the package of Aurélien Chuaméni for this second gathering of the French team under Zinédine Zidane. It will not be replaced.
Tchouameni's adductor injury has recurred, leading to his withdrawal from the French national team. Real Madrid is now awaiting the condition of Jose Mourinho's key midfielder.
