Real Madrid’s Federico Valverde was substituted due to injury in the Supercopa de España final, where Los Blancos lost 2-3 to Barcelona.

 After 60 minutes, the Uruguayan clutched his right hamstring in pain, tried to sprint to prove fitness but had to exit, looking frustrated.

Having only missed 3 games this season (2014 mins played, 5th-most in the squad), he’s a key player. Further tests are pending, but Valverde risks being sidelined for upcoming cup ties or longer.
