Real Madrid’s final preparations for the new La Liga season have hit a snag, as key midfielder Eduardo Camavinga picked up an ankle injury during a training session.
This unfortunate setback has cast doubt on his availability for the team’s opening match and raises concerns about his fitness, especially considering his injury struggles last season.
🤕 Injury Details
Eduardo Camavinga injured his ankle in training, causing him to miss several practice sessions, including one on Sunday morning. As a result, the 22-year-old is now unlikely to feature in the team’s final pre-season friendly against Austrian side Tirol on Tuesday.
⏱️ Race Against Time for Season Opener
The injury puts the French midfielder in a difficult position ahead of the La Liga opener against Osasuna on August 19. While the full extent of the injury is still being assessed, initial reports suggest it is the type of injury that could take several weeks to recover from, making his participation uncertain.
🔙 A Look at Past Fitness Issues
This latest issue is concerning for both the player and the club, particularly after a challenging 2024-25 season for Camavinga. Last season, he was sidelined by four different injuries for a total of 159 days, which limited him to just 35 appearances across all competitions.
