Real Madrid received a significant boost on Christmas Day, as a report from MARCA suggests that Eduardo Camavinga will return immediately after the break and will play against Mallorca on January 3rd. This news comes as Real Madrid celebrates the holiday of Christmas.
Midway through the month of November, the Frenchman sustained an injury while serving at the international level with France. More testing revealed that the injury was significant, and the player would not be able to return to action until the beginning of February. Initially, the ailment was thought to be a knock.
The fact that Carlo Ancelotti himself has verified that his recuperation has been going quite well is impressive. For the next match against Mallorca, the player has already resumed his training on the field, and he will be joining the squad for their training session during this break.
In spite of the fact that it was previously anticipated that Aurelien Tchouameni would be sidelined until the middle of January, Madrid has already been blessed with the speed with which he has recovered.
Since the beginning of the season, Madrid has been suffering with a number of injuries, the most recent of which was an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury sustained by David Alaba. This injury has rendered him unable to play for the remainder of the season and may even prevent him from competing in the 2024 European Championship.
Furthermore, despite the fact that Camavinga is unable to play the position of center back, he is able to easily fill Tchouameni’s defensive midfield position in the event that his countryman is called to play defense.
In addition, given that Ferland Mendy is plagued by a string of ailments, Ancelotti would be overjoyed to have the 21-year-old player fill in as a left-back in the event that the situation calls for it.
Regardless of the circumstances, at a time when Madrid is begging for more depth and quantity in their roster, every player that returns from an injury is a welcome return. Vinicius Jr. is an upcoming player who is expected to make his comeback in time for the Spanish Super Cup, which will take place in Riyadh.
