🚨🔥Real Madrid officially announce the truth about Camavinga – it’s worrying

Eduardo Camavinga joins the infirmary. The French international’s injury has disrupted Ancelotti’s plans at a key point in the season.

Eduardo Camavinga came on as a 70th-minute substitute for Dani Ceballos in Real Madrid’s Round of 16 clash with Celta Vigo. Despite a courageous performance, the French midfielder ended the match with some physical discomfort. Tests carried out at Valdebebas today confirmed a muscle injury to the biceps femoris of his left leg.

Real Madrid confirmed this in a statement: ‘Following tests carried out today on Eduardo Camavinga, a muscular injury to the biceps femoris of the left leg has been diagnosed. His progress remains to be monitored’. The club is taking a cautious approach to avoid any relapse. But according to Arancha Rodríguez, a journalist close to the club, the injury will keep Camavinga out of action for an estimated three weeks. This diagnosis means that he will miss four important matches: Salzburg, Valladolid, Brest and Espanyol. However, his participation in the clash with Atlético Madrid on 9 February remains uncertain.

A blow for Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti

Camavinga’s injury is a major loss for the team. Although the French midfielder has not been at his best recently, his impact on Madrid’s play remains significant. His energy, versatility and ability to break down lines provide Carlo Ancelotti with valuable options. With Luka Modrić also unavailable due to an accumulation of yellow cards, Real Madrid find themselves limited in their midfield options. Ancelotti will have to rely on the five remaining midfielders to make up for the absence of two key players.

Nevertheless, Real Madrid have some interesting resources at their disposal to help them through this tricky period. Aurélien Tchouaméni, Arda Guler and Jude Bellingham should make up the central trio for the next few games. Federico Valverde, known for his stamina and versatility, could also play a key role. At the same time, Ancelotti could give more playing time to lesser-used players, such as Dani Ceballos, to maintain the balance of the team. The situation also offers an opportunity for La Castilla’s young talents to show their worth.
