Agent of Real Madrid midfielder Tchouameni: He was determined to play with broken foot

The agent of Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has detailed his metatarsal injury.

The France international faces six weeks out after suffering the setback in last week's win at Barcelona.

Jonathan Kebe, Tchouameni's agent, told the Athletic: "He felt something (in the first half) but it wasn't a big deal.

"Then during the game it got worse. It was not because of Gavi.

"He did not say anything (at half-time) because, as the team was losing, he wanted to win. But he did not.

"I knew the gravity. When you play you don't feel it, that's when you stop and take off your boots."
