Real Madrid hit with a major blow when the injury dismissal of Eduardo Camavinga is confirmed

Midfielder of Real Madrid Edward Camavinga's scream of pain during training just 24 hours before starting his season in the European Supercup was a sure sign that he was likely to miss some time. While he avoided the dreaded ACL injury, he will be out for some time.

Ace for AS DiaryCamavinga has been ruled out for the next six to seven weeks with an internal ligament sprain of the knee. The French midfielder twisted his knee in training, and after the tests in Warsaw, they concluded that he will be out until October in all probability. In addition to the Atalanta game tonight, he will miss another eight games. If his recovery is quick, he could still make the Madrid derby on September 29 at the Metropolitano, which will undoubtedly be the most painful miss.

The Champions League draw is yet to take place, so Camavinga is likely to miss at least one European game as well, while an away trip to Real Sociedad also looks unlikely. The Blancos will travel to Las Palmas and RCD Mallorca, while they will receive Real Valladolid, Real Betis, Espanyol and Alaves at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Carlo Ancelotti is not short of options in midfield, with Luka Modric, Aurelien Tchouameni, Dani Ceballos, Jude Bellingham and Fede Valverde strong enough to handle his absence, but it leaves the squad a bit thinner, for the stages of opening. the season Already Tchouameni is a candidate to play in defense even in case of injury.
