Overview
- Real Madrid, which on Thursday said Federico Valverde sustained a traumatic brain injury, ordered 10–14 days of rest and opened disciplinary files on Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni after a training‑ground incident.
- Valverde posted a statement late Thursday denying that either player threw punches and saying he cut his forehead by hitting a table, as Spanish outlets reported he lost consciousness and needed stitches.
- Peruvian police reported Wednesday that Yanet Urbano died after more than three weeks in intensive care for severe burns from an April 11 attack, and authorities are now searching for her ex‑partner, who is believed to have fled to Argentina as the Women’s Ministry seeks his addition to the most‑wanted list.
- In Santa Fe, Argentina, a judge on Thursday ordered preventive detention for members of the network tied to Víctor “Puchinga” Almirón after raids on April 21, with prosecutors detailing an eight‑hour kidnapping in a car trunk and other violent crimes as the alleged leader remains at large.
- The Peruvian federation’s dispute chamber ruled Thursday to deduct two Liga 1 points from UTC over debts to player Gaspar Gentile and to bar new foreign signings in the next window, a decision that drops the club to 14th and restricts its roster planning.
