Ever since the beginning of the 2024–2025 season, Real Madrid has been plagued by a string of poor luck with injuries.
Midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, who plays for the first team, had a knee injury during training on Tuesday. This comes after three younger players, Daniel Mesonero, Cesar Palacios, and Joan Martinez, all suffered injuries to their anterior cruciate ligaments.
In a statement released earlier today, the club announced that the French international player had sustained a sprain in his internal collateral ligament. It is anticipated that the young player will be out for a length of time ranging from six to seven weeks.
Camavinga was expected to start against Atalanta in tonight’s UEFA Super Cup match, but he suffered an injury at a time when he was expected to do so. This was a really terrible circumstance for Camavinga.
Prior to the start of the match, Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid, has offered an update about the injury sustained by the young midfielder.
Camavinga had a lot of opportunities to start tonight if it weren’t for the injury, according to the Italian strategist, who also said that he could be able to recover in a month’s time.
Regarding the eleven, I was quite explicit about it. The injury sustained by Camavinga prompted me to consider putting together a formidable attacking line. Camavinga had a great deal of opportunities. “He is better than we thought, and we are hopeful that we will be able to get him back within the next month,” added Ancelotti.
While all is going on, Kylian Mbappe makes his first appearance for Real Madrid. He begins the game as a center striker, and he is accompanied by the Brazilian combination of Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo Goes.
Vinicius and the French superstar would be able to switch places on a regular basis, according to Ancelotti, who emphasized that the French superstar would not have a position that was completely set.
Mobility is a quality that is of utmost significance. Ancelotti made the observation that Kylian and Vini are able to maneuver their positions.
He continued by saying, “Defensively, it will depend on Bellingham’s position.” This was in reference to the particular formation that Real Madrid would be using. It is possible that it is a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1.
