Real Madrid star Aurelien Tchouameni is set to miss their UEFA Champions League final with Borussia Dortmund.
Los Blancos are gearing up for their showdown with Dortmund at Wembley on June 1 with Tchouameni the main injury doubt.
Carlo Ancelotti will wait until as late as possible to make a decision on Tchouameni following a foot injury in the semi final second leg win over Bayern Munich on April 30.
The original window of recovery of 3-4 weeks puts Tchouameni at risk of missing the final and his fitness race looks difficult.
As per reports from French outlet L’Equipe, Tchouameni will not be ready in time for the final, and he could also miss France’s opening game at Euro 2024 against Austria on June 17.
Tchouameni is set to remain in the France squad as his recovery continues, but Marseille’s Jordan Vertout has been linked with a call up, if Didier Deschamps is concerned over his fitness for the full tournament.
