Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga has suffered a complete tear of his left adductor tendon, ruling him out for the rest of the 2024/25 season. The injury comes at a crucial stage, just as Real Madrid are set to compete for major trophies.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Camavinga was injured late in Real Madrid’s recent match against Getafe. Medical tests at Valdebebas confirmed the diagnosis: a complete rupture of his left adductor tendon. This serious muscular injury means he will miss all upcoming fixtures, including the Copa del Rey final and the FIFA Club World Cup. The official club statement said he is “pending evolution,” but it is clear he will not be available for the foreseeable future.
KEY IMPLICATIONS FOR REAL MADRID
This injury is a huge setback for Real Madrid at a vital time. The team, under Carlo Ancelotti, currently sits top of La Liga and is preparing for a crucial Copa del Rey final against Barcelona. They are also in the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League. Camavinga had become an important option both in midfield and as an emergency left-back, especially with Ferland Mendy also injured.
His absence means Real Madrid will have to find alternative solutions for their upcoming high-stakes matches. The depth of their squad will now be tested as they try to finish the season strongly both domestically and in Europe.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR CAMAVINGA AND REAL MADRID?
Camavinga faces a long and challenging recovery from this complete tendon rupture. Typically, such injuries require months of rehabilitation, putting his involvement at the start of next season in doubt as well. Real Madrid’s next game, the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona, will be played without two of their defensive options. The team remains top of La Liga, but with Barcelona only three points behind and Atlético Madrid just two points further back, every game is now even more important.
The club’s next matches will define the shape of their season. For Camavinga, focus turns to recovery in the hope of returning fully fit at the earliest opportunity.
