They announce the return of the midfielder, Xabi Alonso is happy with the news

The player Xabi Alonso will be at Real Madrid after a long wait

Real Madrid's squad is filled with the best players and the best prospects from all over the world. Although the club has started the campaign in the best way, the squad is still not complete due to injuries. This, as we know at Defensa Central, is about to change with the imminent return to the field of Eduardo Camavinga.

The French midfielder has spent the last few weeks recovering from an injury. More specifically, the player suffered a sprain in his right ankle on August 10 during a training session. Although the injury was not serious, this prevented the Frenchman from starting the season with the rest of the team.

Although the date of his return is a mystery, it is expected that the player will be present for the match against Real Sociedad.  In other words, the Frenchman will be able to play for Real Madrid again after the international break.  A break from club soccer that will help Camavinga return to the field in the best possible way.

The best news for Xabi

Throughout the entire summer, it was evident that Real Madrid needed to strengthen its midfield. Luka Modric's departure left a huge gap that Xabi Alonso has been trying to fill long before the start of the season. Although Güler and Valverde have excelled at the start of this campaign, the club needs depth in its squad.

That's why the imminent return of Eduardo Camavinga is great news. The Frenchman, only 22 years old, will help strengthen the midfield in the way Xabi is looking for. His ball control, ability to deliver deep passes, and his physical strength are some of the qualities that set the former Stade de Rennes player apart.

Having been part of Real Madrid since 2021, Camavinga has had great moments with the team. Unfortunately, injuries have been a constant problem for him. Playing only 2,082 minutes (2,082) last season because of this, Camavinga hopes to far surpass this throughout this campaign.

A solid midfield

With the match against Real Sociedad taking place this coming Saturday, September 13, Camavinga will be able to return without any problem. In addition, the chances that he will play several minutes are very high. This is because, due to their obligations with their respective national teams, most of the starters could be given a rest.
