The 24-year-old former Monaco man suffered a stress fracture in his foot during Real Madridβs Champions League semi-final second leg 2-1 win over Bayern Munich earlier in May.
The news of Tchouameniβs absence from the final was revealed by Los Blancos manager Carlo Ancelotti, who confirmed the Frenchman will miss the tie but is in a battle against time to be fit for the Euro 2024 slated to begin on June 14 in Germany.
“He is doing individual work, but he is not ready for the final,β the Italian said. βLetβs see if heβs ready for the Euros.”
Tchouameni, who has been selected by France national team coach Didier Deschamps for their Euros squad, has played 38 times for Madrid across all competitions this season, scoring three goals and providing one assist.
