Spanish press reports revealed that Real Madrid will lose the services of Eduardo Camavinga for a long period due to injury, thus joining the Royal Club's large list of injured people.
The French international renewed his contract in recent days with Real Madrid until 2029, but Carlo Ancelotti's squad will be deprived of his services in the next stage.
What is Eduardo Camavinga's injury?
Camavinga was subjected to violent interference by Ousmane Dembele in France's national team training in preparation for facing Greece and Gibraltar in the Euro 2024 qualifiers.
The 21-year-old returned to the Spanish capital, Madrid, to undergo MRI scans that showed he had a sprain in his right knee.
How long will Camavinga be away from Real Madrid?
According to the newspaper "Marca", the period of Camavinga's absence from Real Madrid will reach 8 weeks, meaning that he will not return until the beginning of 2024.
On this basis, the Royal Club will lose Camavinga in the matches of Cadiz, Napoli, Granada, Real Betis, Union Berlin, Villarreal and Alaves.
Real Madrid hopes that Camavinga will succeed in returning early in the new year as planned, and consequently participating in the Spanish Super Cup, which will be held in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on January 12, 2024.
In view of the long absence, FIFA will grant Real Madrid approximately 21,000 euros as compensation for the player’s injury during the international break, bringing the total amount that the Frenchman’s injury will bring to the royal club’s coffers, one million euros.
What did Camavinga do with Real Madrid this season?
In his second season with Real Madrid, Camavinga succeeded in securing a starting position with the team, and his dynamism and ability to play in more than one position greatly facilitated Carlo Ancelotti's task in many circumstances.
The Frenchman participated in 17 matches in all tournaments, and succeeded in making one goal, but he has not scored goals yet.
Ancelotti relied on the former Rennes player in the left-back position in light of the injuries to Ferland Mendy and Ferran Garcia, in addition to his main position in midfield.
What are Real Madrid's injuries?
This season was not ideal for Real Madrid in terms of injuries, as it began with the loss of duo Thibaut Courtois and Eder Miliato after suffering a cruciate ligament tear.
At the present moment, Real Madrid is losing the services of a number of its players, such as Arda Guler, who has not participated in any match yet since joining last summer from Fenerbahce.
Goalkeeper Kepa is also absent due to a muscle injury, as well as Jude Bellingham, who suffered a dislocated shoulder, and midfield star, Aurelien Tchouamini, who was injured during the El Clásico match against Barcelona.
