Not everything is joy at Real Madrid after securing the victory against Celta de Vigo this Thursday. Ancelotti's team thus secured a place in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey in extra time. A lot of suffering but they managed to overcome an important commitment at Bernabéu.

However, Camavinga has given the bad news as the Frenchman finished the game injured. After undergoing tests this Wednesday, it has been confirmed that he suffers a injury. It's the biceps femoris of the left leg according to the medical report published by the club.

The Frenchman already went to the ground in extra time and had to be attended to, but he finally finished the game. Although he was already experiencing discomfort, it has finally been confirmed that he suffered an injury. Absences return to Real Madrid, which seemed to have left them behind in recent weeks.

This setback may cause Raúl Asencio to remain in the starting position and Tchouaméni to return to the midfield. Although it may also be that players like Ceballos or Modric get minutes. All four were starters against Celta, and we will have to wait for Ancelotti's decision.

Camavinga's recovery time with the Classic on February 9th on the horizon

Real Madrid has a pretty tight schedule ahead where they can't afford to fail. However, the big final will be next February 9 against Atlético at Bernabéu. That classic could be decisive in the course of La Liga, with the whites seeking the lead.

Initially, Camavinga should be ready for that duel as his recovery time is estimated at 3 weeks. Although Real Madrid hasn't informed when the Frenchman could reappear. However, if the forecasts are met, he could be ready for that match.

He will definitely miss the next La Liga matches against Las Palmas, Valladolid, and Espanyol. In the Champions League, he won't be able to be present against Salzburg and Brest to finish the first phase. Lastly, he won't be part of the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey.
