‘Papu’ Gómez hurt Federico Valverde with a knee at the end of the match between Real Madrid and Sevilla on Saturday. The blow left the Uruguayan limping and set off the alarms in the merengue store, but above all, in the Uruguayan team. However, the results of the medical tests indicate that there is no injury.

According to information from the newspaper Marca, the ‘Halcón’ “is not injured”, although he will not be part of this Tuesday’s match against Leipzig, for the penultimate day of the Champions League group stage.

Valverde went home after the clash in which he was the protagonist scoring a great goal, with a strong bandage on his thigh and on Sunday morning he underwent tests in the sports city of Valdebebas.

The Uruguayan midfielder has a sore right thigh, sources from the white club inform EFE, due to the strong blow, but the tests rule out muscle injury. He will rest on Sunday and his return to training will be studied depending on his feelings.

Given this, Carlo Ancelotti did not summon Federico Valverde for the visit to Leipzig in the Champions League and, as the Madridista doctors have informed him, he will be able to count on his player for next Sunday’s LaLiga game against Girona. On the payroll, Karim Benzema was also considered.
