Real Madrid Confidencial Madrid Celebrates the 'Miracle' and It's Official, Top Reinforcement in the Derby
Camavinga is already handling the ball in training, eight days after his injury, and will be ready to face Atlético de Madrid
Real Madrid can breathe easily. Eduardo Camavinga, who suffered a muscle tear just eight days ago, is about to make a comeback. His recovery has been surprising and comes just in time for the classic against Atlético de Madrid.
From three weeks to eight days
The initial diagnosis was clear: three weeks out after an injury sustained on January 16th against Celta.
However, the French midfielder has impressively shortened the recovery time. Just a week after the injury, he is already handling the ball and training intensely.
Camavinga injured his left hamstring at the end of the game against Celta. Although he was able to continue playing while still warm, subsequent tests revealed the tear.
Everything pointed to him missing the classic on February 8th. Now, not only is that fear dismissed, but he might even be available for the game against Brest.
Training and progress
In the most recent session, Camavinga drew attention by training on the adjacent field while his teammates worked on the main one. He ran, sprinted, jumped, and struck the ball normally. The positive feelings were evident, as were his smile and rapport with the reconditioning coach.
Although it's unlikely he will start against Atlético, he is expected to travel with the team. His presence would be an important boost, albeit with limited minutes. For the next league match against Espanyol, he will be at 100%.
Camavinga returns at a crucial moment. Madrid's midfield is highly competitive, with Valverde, Modric, and Ceballos shining in their recent appearances. Additionally, his recent performance left doubts, especially after the Supercopa Cup final and the mistake against Celta.
Despite everything, Carlo Ancelotti has full confidence in him. The Italian coach sees the Frenchman as a key piece for the team and hopes he will soon regain his best form.
Another medical miracle
Camavinga's rapid recovery adds to Real Madrid's frequent "medical miracles". Behind these achievements is the exhaustive work of the technical and medical staff, along with a strategy that often inflates the initial recovery times.
With Camavinga ready for the classic, Real Madrid gains a vital reinforcement at a crucial moment in the season.
