ESPN: Valverde s back injury is expected to recover from 10 to 15 days, and may miss the national team game

According to ESPN, Valverde may miss the Uruguay national team due to injury, but is expected to participate in the 2025 Club World Cup with Real Madrid.

Valverde is currently suffering from lumbar disc pain, and Real Madrid hopes he can recover his health before the Club World Cup. The Club World Cup will start on June 18, with Real Madrid facing Riyadh Crescent in Group H (which also includes Pachuca and Salzburg Red Bull).

Whether Valverde will represent the Uruguay national team on June 5 and 10 against Paraguay and Venezuela is still an unknown, and he is undergoing physical therapy to help recover after being injured in a recent La Liga match.

According to club sources, his expected recovery time is 10 to 15 days, which makes him less likely to return to the national team. If he can recover smoothly, he will participate in the first training session of the new coach Alonso at the Valdebebas training base starting from June 9.

Valverde played 57 of 59 games for Real Madrid this season, fighting with injuries in the last two months of the game, which eventually led to lumbar disc pain. The Uruguay national team has completed 14 rounds of the qualifiers in the South American World Cup and is temporarily ranked third. Whether Valverde can play in the next game still needs to wait for further news.
