Real Madrid injury concerns grow as key player lands in dressing room after Atletico Madrid draw

Real Madrid they return to start the week with fresh concerns about their team's fitness, following a frustrating 1-1 draw with city rivals Atletico Madrid. Granted the equalizer in the 93rd minute, the loss of points is accompanied by more injury problems.

Antonio Rudiger did not recover in time from a burnt thigh to make the match, while Vinicius Junior was a late miss for Carlo Ancelotti. The Brazilian has a neck strain, and pulled out of the warm-up, leading Los Blancos to start with Brahim Diaz – who ended up as the player of the match.

At the end of the game, French midfielder Eduardo Camavinga also cleaned in the direction of the path, without the knowledge of Carlo Ancelotti. He was asked about this in his post-match press conference, and he had to ask exactly what was wrong with them at the press, answering that “they didn't tell me anything, but it looks like a blow”, as in order Brand.

They say Camavinga left the field holding his knee and was accompanied by medical staff. If it was just an impact injury, then there's a good chance the bruises will subside in time for Real Madrid's top-of-the-table clash with Girona next Saturday. If it was anything more, then Girona's clash and their Champions League tie with RB Leipzig could be thrown into doubt for the versatile Frenchman. Aurelien Tchouameni will return from suspension, Rudiger is expected to return, and Vinicius is also likely to be available.
