Real Madrid encountered a moment of apprehension on Tuesday night as Eduardo Camavinga suffered an injury during France’s international friendly against Chile, sparking concern within the club.
Given his previous injury during the last national team camp in November, the recurrence understandably raised alarm.
Camavinga had to exit the field due to an ankle sprain sustained during the match against Chile, resulting in his substitution by Matteo Guendouzi. However, there is some relief for Real Madrid as reports indicate the injury is minor, as stated by Jorge C Picon.
Initial examinations on the French midfielder suggest the problem is relatively mild, offering hope that he might be fit for the upcoming clash against Athletic Club over the weekend.
Initially, there were worries that the injury could jeopardize his participation in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal first-leg tie against Manchester City next month.
Fortunately, the situation seems to be less severe than feared, with the injury diagnosed as just a mild sprain.
This development implies that Camavinga’s availability for the crucial upcoming matches, including the Manchester City clash, remains possible.
While his return for the Athletic Club match remains a prospect, further assessments will be carried out upon his return to the club facilities to determine his readiness.
Real Madrid will closely monitor his condition and decide on his involvement based on his fitness ahead of the upcoming fixtures.
