Fede Valverde Broken Foot

JAKARTA - Real Madrid player Federico Valverde has to rest after suffering a fracture in his right leg when his team were beaten 1-4 by hosts Valencia on Sunday 8 November in a La Liga match, the Spanish champions said Monday.

Madrid did not disclose when the Uruguayan was expected to return to play after his injury, although Spanish media reports suggested he would be out for at least a month.

"Following tests carried out on our player, Federico Valverde, he was diagnosed with a posterior tibial fracture in his right leg. His recovery will continue to be monitored," Real said in a statement reported by Antara.

The injury means Valverde will be unable to strengthen Uruguay in World Cup qualifiers against Colombia and Brazil this month.

Los Blancos, currently fourth in the Spanish League standings on 16 points, travel to Villarreal in their first game after the international break.
