Revealing the Reason for Valverde's Substitution in El Clasico
The Spanish newspaper "AS" revealed that the decision to substitute the Uruguayan star Federico Valverde during the Spanish Super Cup final against Barcelona was made for health reasons, not for tactical reasons.
According to the newspaper, Valverde sustained an injury to his right thigh, which led the Real Madrid coaching staff to decide to take him off the field in the 67th minute, with Turkish star Arda Güler coming on as his replacement.
Valverde is expected to undergo medical examinations in the coming hours to determine the severity of the injury and the likely duration of his absence, amid Real Madrid's congested match schedule in the upcoming period.
Real Madrid lost the Spanish Super Cup final to their rival Barcelona with a score of 3-2.
