Levante's Doukoure clarifies messages and calls from Real Madrid after injury

Levante's Cheick Doukoure has confirmed that Real Madrid and Casemiro have been in touch after he injured his cruciate against Los Blancos on Sunday. 

Doukoure sustained the knock when he swiped thin air, which was given as a penalty in Madrid's favour as Casemiro took a tumble. 

Reports emerged that Doukoure had said there had been no wishes sent his way from Madrid but the club came out to deny that. 

The Levante player has since posted on social media to clear things up. 

Doukoure wrote: "I want to clarify what you can see in the video. I respond no when asked if Casemiro's phoned me. I want to add that a Madrid representative showed interes in me on Monday, through our president, and afterwards Emiliio Butragueño called me."

Quiero aclarar que como se puede ver en el vídeo, respondo 'no' a la pregunta de si me ha llamado Casemiro. Además tengo que añadir que un representante del Real Madrid se interesó por mí ayer, a través de mi presidente, y que después del entrene me ha llamado Emilio Butragueño. https://t.co/jffEAKnqVj

Around an hour later, Doukoure added: "In addition, I want to add that a few minutes ago Casemiro also called me. Even though he has nothing to do with my injury, I appreciate the gesture. I want to thank everyone who's worried about me." 

Además, quiero añadir que hace unos minutos también me ha llamado Casemiro. Aunque él no tenga nada que ver con mi lesión, le agradezco el detalle.
Aprovecho para dar las gracias a todos los que os habéis preocupado por mi.
