Sources: Tchouaméni in race to be fit for UCL final

Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni will be out for about three weeks with a stress injury to his left foot, but there is still optimism he will recover in time for the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund on June 1, club sources told ESPN.

Tchouaméni started the 2-1 win over Bayern Munich that secured Madrid’s place in the Wembley final but had to be replaced by Eduardo Camavinga after 70 minutes after feeling discomfort in his foot.
