Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga will be out for several weeks due to a knee ligament sprain, the club confirmed on Wednesday. Camavinga sustained this injury during a training session on Tuesday when he collided with teammate Aurelien Tchouameni.
The French international, who has been a key player for Real Madrid, will miss the beginning of the season. Spanish reports indicate that he could be sidelined for up to seven weeks. This injury could see him miss crucial matches in the Champions League scheduled for September and October.
“After today’s tests, we have diagnosed Eduardo Camavinga with a ligament sprain in his left knee,” Real Madrid stated.
Camavinga’s injury comes at a challenging time for the club. With Toni Kroos having retired from football this summer, the absence of Camavinga leaves Real Madrid with a thinner midfield as they head into the new season. The reigning Spanish and European champions are set to play the European Super Cup against Europa League winners Atalanta on Wednesday. Their La Liga campaign will commence on Sunday against Real Mallorca.
Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe, Camavinga’s French teammate, is expected to make his much-anticipated debut for Real Madrid against Atalanta in Warsaw.
Stay tuned for more updates on Eduardo Camavinga’s recovery and Real Madrid’s season progress.
