This news comes as massive blow to Real Madrid as they will be without one of the most important players for them this season. Aurelien Tchouameni has played 30 games for Real Madrid this season and the Spanish Giants are unbeaten in every game Tchouameni has played for them this season. 

Hence, missing Tchouameni would be a big blow to the Blancos but they have options in Eduardo Camavinga to use at the central defensive position. Real can further use Toni Kroos in the pivot and play Luka Modric and Fede Valverde centrally alongside him to replace Tchouameni.
