Real Madrid has received a significant boost ahead of their crucial Champions League semi-final second leg against Bayern Munich. Key midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni has returned to training with the group, increasing his chances of featuring in the pivotal match at the Santiago Bernabéu on Wednesday, May 8, 2024.
The French international had been a major doubt after suffering a stress fracture in his left foot during the first leg in Munich on April 30, which ended in a 2-2 draw. His absence from training in the days following the injury had cast serious doubt over his availability for the return fixture.
However, in a positive development for Carlo Ancelotti’s side, Tchouaméni participated in Monday’s full team session. While his final fitness will be assessed in the coming days, his presence on the training pitch is a welcome sight for the Spanish giants.
Tchouaméni’s potential return is timely, as fellow midfielder Dani Carvajal is suspended for the second leg after picking up a yellow card in Munich. Having the Frenchman available would provide Ancelotti with much-needed stability and options in the center of the park as Real Madrid looks to secure a place in the final at Wembley on June 1, 2024.
The club confirmed the positive news, stating the player has rejoined the squad and will continue to be monitored. All eyes will now be on his progress in Tuesday’s final training session before the team announcement.
