Camavinga gives the good news of the week: he already has a return date

After a season plagued by injuries, Eduardo Camavinga didn't start this campaign in the best way. Suffering a sprain in his right ankle, the Frenchman has missed the start of this season. However, according to information from AS newspaper, Camavinga is expected to be drafted for this Saturday's match at Anoeta.

The Frenchman has made remarkable progress with his injury, recovering within the expected time frame. Clearly, the fact that his injury, fortunately, wasn't as serious as some of those he suffered last season has helped. According to what we know at Defensa Central, Camavinga has managed to complete the team's last training session.

This is great news for the team but, above all, for coach Xabi Alonso. Due to his injury, Camavinga still hasn't been able to make his debut with the Basque coach. Even so, Xabi has made it clear on multiple occasions the trust he has placed in Camavinga.

The desired return

At 22 years old, Eduardo Camavinga is one of the great talents Real Madrid has. Despite the great moments he has had with the team, the Frenchman still hasn't been able to establish himself in midfield. This is due to the constant injuries he has suffered, which have notably diminished his performance.

Playing just 2,082 min. (2,082 minutes) last season, Camavinga caused many doubts. While the Frenchman isn't expected to be, for now, an undisputed starter, Xabi is looking to give him playing time. Given the number of matches Real Madrid will play throughout the season, it's inevitable that Xabi will make rotations in the squad.

This is precisely a great opportunity for Camavinga to start returning to his best level. Although it's unknown whether he'll start or not against Real Sociedad, it's most likely that the Frenchman will play some minutes. His quality on the ball, vision, and tactical intelligence are qualities the club misses.

A complicated match

Xabi Alonso, having played at Real Sociedad, is aware of how complicated it is to be the visiting club at Anoeta. Because of this, Camavinga could get some minutes but not as a starter. Despite the trust the coach has in the player, the last thing he needs is to demand too much from Camavinga and for him to suffer a relapse of his injury.
