Ancelotti Has Told Him the Change Camavinga Needs to Be Important

Carlo Ancelotti Has Been Clear with Eduardo Camavinga. If he wants to be key in Real Madrid, he must find physical stability. Injuries have marked his season and have hindered his progression.

Despite this, the Italian coach fully trusts his potential and is convinced that, with continuity, he will be an essential player in his scheme.

A Season Full of Setbacks

The Frenchman has suffered a complicated campaign. He has missed 18 matches due to injury, which represents 42% of the total games played by Real Madrid. A huge burden for his growth and adaptation within the team.

Since the start of the season, physical problems have been a constant. On the eve of the UEFA Super Cup, a cry of pain during a training session in Warsaw set off alarms.

The worst was feared, a cruciate ligament tear that could have sidelined him for months. Finally, the diagnosis was a sprain in the internal ligament of the left knee, a less severe injury but one that kept him off the field for 45 days.

When he returned, bad luck continued to follow him. In November, a muscle injury forced him to stop for 17 days.

In January, another physical problem sidelined him for 22 more days. In total, he has spent 84 days in the infirmary, too long a time for a player who needs continuity to reach his best version.

Ancelotti Supports Him

Despite everything, Ancelotti doesn't doubt his talent. "Some forget that he played the Champions League final alongside Kroos," the Italian coach has recalled, highlighting that when he is in full physical condition, Camavinga is a key piece in the team.

The midfielder has played 23 matches this season and has started in 15. He has accumulated 1,325 minutes on the field, but the feeling is that he could have played much more if not for his constant physical setbacks.

Camavinga, at 200% Physically

Now, the midfielder is fully recovered. He feels in top form and ready to reclaim his role in the team. He knows that, with effort and without injuries, he can become a reference in Real Madrid's midfield.

In Anoeta, he already showed positive signs. He won four duels, recovered four balls, and had a 95% pass accuracy. Without having a brilliant match, he showed intensity, physicality, and commitment, aspects that Ancelotti greatly values in his players.

The match against Betis will be his Kilometer 0. A new starting point in the season. The perfect opportunity to show that he is ready to take a step forward.

Ancelotti knows it, Camavinga does too. His future at Real Madrid depends on his ability to stay healthy and consistent in his performance.
