Mbappe, Tchouameni join Real Madrid training ahead of Clasico

n n

Kylian Mbappe trained on Friday after recovering from a hamstring injury ahead of the Clasico against Barcelona, with Aurelien Tchouameni also involved following his bust-up with teammate Federico Valverde.

n

Top goalscorer Mbappe had been sidelined for two weeks, but Real said the French striker completed part of the group session two days before their trip to Barcelona.

n

Tchouameni also took part in the training the day after his altercation with Valverde resulted in the latter reportedly needing stitches.

n

The team confirmed that disciplinary proceedings have been opened against both players after the training ground clash, one of a spate of such incidents.

n

Tensions are high at Real with the prospect of a second consecutive season without a major trophy.

n

Leading by 11 points, Barcelona only need a draw in the Clasico to be crowned Spanish champions again.
