Ancelotti said he thought the 24-year-old would be fit to play for France at Euro 2024, which starts on June 14th.

"He's working individually, he won't be ready for the final - he's ruled out for that," Ancelotti told a news conference Friday.

"I think he will recover for the Euros, I think he can recover."

Los Blancos face German side Borussia Dortmund at Wembley on June 1st aiming to win the Champions League for a record-extending 15th time.

Tchouameni's compatriot Eduardo Camavinga may start at the base of the midfield.
