Real Madrid have suffered a major setback after midfielder Eduardo Camavinga was diagnosed with a complete rupture of his left adductor tendon, ruling him out for the rest of the season and the upcoming Club World Cup.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Real Madrid confirmed that Camavinga’s season is over following medical tests, which showed a full tear of his left adductor tendon. The injury occurred during recent training sessions and means he will miss all remaining fixtures, including the Copa del Rey final and the FIFA Club World Cup. The club described the issue as a “devastating” blow, and Camavinga will now begin a lengthy recovery process, with his return date currently uncertain.
THE SIGNIFICANCE FOR REAL MADRID
This injury is a huge blow to Real Madrid, who are currently competing for multiple trophies. The team sits at the top of LaLiga, with only a narrow lead over rivals Barcelona. Camavinga has played a key role in midfield this season, featuring regularly both as a starter and from the bench. His absence will be felt in crucial matches, including the Copa del Rey final and the Club World Cup, both of which Los Blancos were hoping to win.
LOOKING AHEAD
Without Camavinga, Real Madrid’s manager Carlo Ancelotti must rethink his midfield options for an intense run of fixtures. The team faces Barcelona next in LaLiga, where every point is vital in the title race. Real Madrid will also need to adjust ahead of the Copa del Rey final and prepare for the Club World Cup without one of their most versatile and dynamic players. Recovery from such an injury usually takes several months, making Camavinga’s participation in preseason doubtful.
