Overview
- The club’s medical services diagnosed Aurélien Tchouaméni with a left semitendinosus muscle injury and said his recovery will be monitored.
- Multiple outlets report an estimated three-week layoff following tests conducted on November 6 after he finished the full match at Anfield.
- He is set to miss away games at Rayo Vallecano, Elche and Olympiacos, with some reports suggesting a possible return around late November or early December.
- Tchouaméni was left out of Didier Deschamps’ latest France squad for World Cup qualifiers against Ukraine and Azerbaijan.
- Eduardo Camavinga is expected to cover the holding role, Dani Ceballos may see more minutes, and Valverde’s return to fitness provides flexibility, with a potential shift back into midfield if Trent Alexander-Arnold starts at right-back.
