The manager of Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti, desperate for the return of the midfielder

Real Madrid have not had an easy start to the season, having drawn games against Mallorca and Las Palmas in their first five La Liga games. Carlo Ancelotti has struggled to adapt to life without Toni Kroos, and many of the concerns that have been placed on the Blancos have centered around their midfield.

It's not just Kroos that Real Madrid miss. They have been without Eduardo Camavinga for the first few weeks of the season as he picked up a knee injury ahead of the UEFA Super Cup final against Atalanta.

Ancelotti was particularly sad to not be able to call Camavinga, with Relief reporting that the Italian coach “misses” the presence of the Frenchman in the midfield.

Camavinga is a unique profile in the midfield, and although he has not always been a regular starter, he is a very valuable part of the Real Madrid heart It is completely understandable why Ancelotti misses him, as the dynamism he brings is much needed.
