Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga has sustained a significant injury during a training session just before the European Super Cup final against Atalanta. The injury, diagnosed as a sprain of the internal collateral ligament in his left knee, is expected to sideline him for approximately six to seven weeks, impacting his participation in the early stages of the La Liga season.
During the final training session in Warsaw, Camavinga was injured following a collision with teammate Aurélien Tchouaméni. The incident caused immediate concern among his teammates and coaching staff, with manager Carlo Ancelotti visibly upset. Camavinga expressed his disappointment on social media, thanking fans for their support and vowing to work hard for a speedy recovery.
If the recovery timeline holds, Camavinga will miss crucial matches including the European Super Cup, several La Liga fixtures, and the first day of the Champions League, returning potentially for matchday 7 against Alavés.
