Despite injury, Choumini (31 internationals) was named in Didier Deschamps’ 25-man squad for the continental championship finals this month at No.16.
Choumini was injured in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich and was replaced by compatriot Eduardo Kamavinga in the 70th minute (the match ended in a 2–1 win for Real).
The Royals announced the next day that the midfielder was suffering from a “stress fracture in his left leg”, without specifying how long it would take.
Tshwamini suffered a similar injury in October 2023, and was sidelined for a month and a half at that time.
