Real Madrid issued an official statement announcing that Eduardo Camavinga has sustained an injury, without specifying how long he is expected to be out for.
The French international missed Real Madrid’s 2025 Club World Cup campaign due to an injury he sustained at the end of last season. However, he remains a key player in coach Xabi Alonso’s plans for the new season.
According to the statement, Camavinga is suffering from a sprained right ankle, and his return to action will depend on the speed of his recovery.
According to Marca, Camavinga will almost certainly miss Tuesday’s friendly against Tyrol and will likely miss next week’s La Liga match against Osasuna.
Whether Camavinga will be fit for the next match against Real Oviedo has yet to be determined. Initial reports indicate that the injury is not serious and requires 10 days of rest. The club is simply taking precautionary measures to prevent it from worsening and leading to a longer absence.
While Camavinga’s absence will impact Alonso’s plans, he can be replaced by either Aurelien Tchouameni or Dani Ceballos.
There is no doubt that the 23-year-old Camavinga’s injury record is of great concern to Real Madrid’s management. This is his seventh injury since joining the club in 2021, in a massive deal that cost the club €31 million at the time.
