Real Madrid star to miss the rest of the season & Club World Cup with injury setback | OneFootball

La Liga giants Real Madrid have on Thursday announced a heavy injury blow in the club’s first-team ranks.

This comes amid confirmation that Eduardo Camavinga suffered a serious setback during Real’s most recent outing.

Los Blancos marked their return to action on Wednesday, making the short trip to the Estadio Coliseum for a La Liga meeting with Getafe.

The aforementioned Camavinga was for his part introduced off the bench at the interval, replacing David Alaba.

En route to an eventual 1-0 victory for the visitors on the evening, however, the France international was too forced into a premature departure from proceedings.

After a heavy challenge in the middle of the park, Camavinga could immediately be seen to be in serious pain, hooked by Carlo Ancelotti despite his best efforts to run the problem off.

And a day on, confirmation of the nature of the 22-year-old’s injury has been provided.

As per a statement across Real Madrid’s website and social media platforms:

‘Following tests carried out today on Eduardo Camavinga by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a complete tear of the tendon in his left abductor muscle. His recovery will be assessed.’

As confirmed by several reliable sources in the time since, Camavinga is facing up to a spell of several months on the sidelines, ruling him out for the remainder of the current campaign, as well as the upcoming Club World Cup.
