Serious Injury for Camavinga: The Medical Report Is Devastating

The footballer left the match against Getafe injured before time

Despite Real Madrid's victory against Getafe, the coaching staff were really worried about a first-team footballer: Eduardo Camavinga. The French '6', who had come on at the start of the second half, went to the ground during injury time, clearly affected by a physical problem.

Immediately after speaking with Real Madrid's medical staff, the coaching staff realized it was a major problem. But to know the exact extent of Eduardo Camavinga's injury, they had to wait several hours until the footballer underwent tests at Valdebebas.

The results of those examinations are worse than desired. According to the official statement published by Real Madrid just a few minutes ago, the French stopper suffers from a "complete rupture of the left adductor tendon". This very serious injury has a very long recovery time, given the complicated recovery that the French footballer must now face.

As it stands, Eduardo Camavinga is out for a long duration at the worst moment for Real Madrid. Because Carlo Ancelotti was counting on him, in the absence of a also injured Ferland Mendy, to play as a left-back in the Clásico of the Copa del Rey final. It won't be possible.

Shocking News

Besides that final of the 'K.O. tournament' against FC Barcelona, Eduardo Camavinga would be unavailable for the rest of the LaLiga 24/25 matches. Real Madrid's coaching staff will have to face the five remaining matchdays of the current league season without the French pivot. That time out, despite the official medical report stating it is "pending evolution", would also affect the Club World Cup.

The newly branded competition organized by FIFA, scheduled to be held between June 13 and July 13, would be the event Camavinga would also miss due to injury. According to information from Arancha Rodríguez, a journalist from COPE, the Madrid '6' would be left out of one of the most important competitions for the board led by Florentino Pérez.

With this unexpected and shocking news, Real Madrid must continue preparing for the Copa del Rey against FC Barcelona. Eduardo Camavinga, who was seen as a key player in that match, will be out due to his "complete rupture of the left adductor tendon". The recovery will be complicated, but not only that process concerns the medical services of the Madrid entity now.

Because Eduardo Camavinga is a really explosive player in his actions, both in offensive and defensive records. That muscular power he usually employs would be severely diminished by this serious injury, cutting one of Carlo Ancelotti's favorite attributes: the "energy" he constantly brings to the team".
