In an unexpected turn of events, Real Madrid has confirmed the worst news for their squad. The French midfielder will not play again this season due to a severe injury sustained in the match against Getafe. This setback ends his aspirations for the remainder of the campaign, including the Copa del Rey, La Liga, and the Club World Cup.
A Painful Injury
The injury to this key player occurred in an unfortunate play. During the match against Getafe, the footballer fell after a tackle by Luis Milla, feeling severe pain in his left leg.
From the very beginning, the situation didn't look good. Carlo Ancelotti admitted that, unless a miracle happened, the player wouldn't be available for the Copa del Rey final.
Diagnosis and Recovery
After medical tests were conducted, it was confirmed that Eduardo Camavinga suffered a complete rupture of the left adductor tendon. This injury will sideline him for three months, meaning he will miss the rest of the season.
In fact, the Club World Cup, which will be held in the United States this summer, is also out of his reach. Although Camavinga might try to shorten the recovery time, the situation is serious.
Goodbye to Major Goals
With this absence, Camavinga bids farewell to La Liga, where Real Madrid is still fighting to stay in the title race. He also misses the Copa del Rey final, where Real Madrid was set to face Barcelona in a key duel.
His absence will be a hard blow for Ancelotti, who had relied on him as a left-back to stop the dangerous Lamine Yamal in the final.
But Camavinga's absence doesn't only affect Real Madrid. He also misses the opportunity to play in the Nations League with the French national team.
The French team is qualified for the final phase of this tournament, where they will face Spain in the semifinals. For him, this is a personal blow, as he saw himself as a key piece in Didier Deschamps's scheme.
An Important Loss for Ancelotti
Camavinga's absence poses a considerable challenge for Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian coach is forced to restructure his game plan and seek alternatives to cover the left flank, which had been occupied by him until now.
Fran García, another left-back, will take his place in the upcoming matches, including the clash against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final.
