Tchouameni (undisclosed) remains doubtful for Saturday's La Liga clash against Valencia after training separately from the squad in recent days, with coach Jose Mourinho providing no update on his condition during Friday's press conference.
Analysis:Tchouameni's availability remains uncertain after missing Wednesday's Champions League encounter against AEK Athens following a period of individually managed training. The French midfielder played the full 90 minutes during Sunday's victory over Racing Santander but has since been working apart from the group, raising questions about his readiness for Saturday's league fixture. Although Real Madrid has not reported a new injury or confirmed any setback, the lack of an update from coach Mourinho leaves his status unresolved heading into the weekend. Tchouameni has been an important presence in central midfield this season, particularly through his defensive contributions and ability to recover possession. Eduardo Camavinga and Bernardo Silva remain potential replacements in the holding midfield role if Tchouameni is unable to feature against Valencia.
