Real Madrid's Federico Valverde suffered a third-degree sprain in his left ankle from Atlético Madrid's Kang-in Lee's tackle during the 'Madrid Derby'. As a result, Valverde will be sidelined for about 2 to 3 weeks and will have to miss Uruguay's friendly match against South Korea. Uruguay has called up Emiliano Martínez of Palmeiras instead of Valverde. Lee Kang-in's tackle is controversial as it was only penalized with a foul without a warning, and Real Madrid is strongly criticizing the referee's decision and demanding a change in La Liga president, further fueling the controversy.
