Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni exits France camp with injury
Aurélien Tchouaméni has withdrawn from the French national team due to a recurring groin injury and will return to Madrid for treatment.
Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni has been forced to withdraw from the French national team camp after suffering discomfort in his right adductor muscle. The French Football Federation confirmed that the player will return to Spain to undergo further medical evaluation with his club.
A recurring fitness concern
"Aurélien Tchouaméni is once again experiencing discomfort in his right adductor, as he did last summer during the World Cup."

The injury occurred during a training session at Clairefontaine on Tuesday. This is a familiar issue for the midfielder, who previously missed international fixtures in September and October due to the same problem. Medical staff from both France and Real Madrid reached an agreement that releasing the player was the most prudent course of action.
This development comes at a difficult time for José Mourinho’s squad, as Tchouaméni has become a vital component of the team’s midfield. With his return to the national setup now cut short, he will focus on recovery before the UEFA Nations League quarterfinals in March.
