Shocking revelation about Valverde in El Clasico

In the El Clásico match between Real Madrid and Barcelona on the evening of October 26, midfielder Federico Valverde still played despite suffering from gastroenteritis.

Valverde went out with a stomach ache.

This was the reason why he felt exhausted and had to leave the field in the 72nd minute, but the Uruguayan star's fighting spirit still contributed significantly to the 2-1 victory of "Los Blancos".

Before the match, Real Madrid's medical team had feared Valverde would not be able to play against rivals Barcelona. The Real captain was diagnosed with gastroenteritis before the match. The condition caused high fever, vomiting and severe exhaustion, leaving him unable to train normally.

However, Valverde still "bite the bullet" and played through the pain and fatigue from the illness. According to sources from the Spanish press, with the role of a forced right-back (due to Dani Carvajal's injury), Valverde decided to play to support the team in this important match.

He spoke to the team doctor in the first half and Carvajal was even prepared to warm up as a substitute. However, Valverde was determined to continue playing in the second half, contributing strong attacks and solid defense.

In the 64th minute, he collapsed on the field due to exhaustion, and finally had to make way for Carvajal in the 72nd minute. Although he only played for more than an hour, Valverde still played his role well and contributed to the victory for his team. However, this incident also sounded the alarm bell about the health of Real Madrid's pillars.
