Real Madrid Star Absentee in Champions League Final

Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti announced that a star player of Real Madrid will miss the showdown against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final, scheduled for the first of next month. Ancelotti confirmed that Aurelien Tchouameni will not participate in the match against Dortmund, stating: "He is currently recovering to participate in the Euros." The French star suffered a foot injury during the match against Bayern Munich in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Spanish media reports indicated that Tchouameni sought multiple medical opinions to find a solution that would reduce his recovery time. He traveled to the United States for consultation with an American specialist, but the prognosis confirmed the same timeline needed before he could return to the field. Real Madrid managed to overcome Bayern Munich to set up a date with Dortmund, who advanced to the final by eliminating Paris Saint-Germain.
