Real Madrid faced a moment of concern on Tuesday night as Eduardo Camavinga sustained an injury during France’s international friendly against Chile, prompting alarm bells within the club.
Given his previous injury during the last national team camp in November, the recurrence raised understandable concerns.
Camavinga was forced to leave the pitch due to an ankle sprain suffered during the match against Chile, leading to his substitution by Matteo Guendouzi. However, there’s a sigh of relief for Real Madrid as the injury is reported to be minor, as indicated by Jorge C Picon.
Initial tests conducted on the French midfielder suggest that the issue is relatively mild, offering a glimmer of hope that he might be available for the upcoming clash against Athletic Club over the weekend.
Initially, there were fears that the injury might jeopardize his participation in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal first-leg tie against Manchester City next month.
Fortunately, the situation appears to be better than anticipated, with the injury diagnosed as only a mild sprain.
This development suggests that Camavinga’s availability for the crucial matches ahead, including the clash against Manchester City, is not entirely ruled out.
While the midfielder’s return for the match against Athletic Club remains a possibility, further tests will be conducted upon his return to the club facilities to ascertain his readiness.
Real Madrid will closely monitor his condition and make a decision based on his fitness ahead of the upcoming fixtures.
