The Uruguayan also has back pain and is a doubt for their weekend clash with Osasuna, although Rodriguez also believes he will be fit for that clash. Valverde had nursed the problem last week but appeared to be recovered for their Champions League clash.

Outside of long-term absentees David Alaba and Dani Carvajal, it looked like Real Madrid were finally approaching full fitness, with Thibaut Courtois the only other absence remaining. He is expected to return after the international break, but Tchouameni will now be out for the rest of November.
He will miss the games against Osasuna (H), Leganes (A), Liverpool (A), Getafe (H), and will be touch and go for his trip to San Mames to face Athletic Club. Tchouameni came in for criticism very late, and his position was threatened. Eduardo Camavinga will likely get more of his minutes.
