Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga will miss the remainder of the season after being diagnosed with a groin injury, the club announced on Thursday. The French international picked up the injury during Real Madrid‘s 1-0 win over Getafe in La Liga on Wednesday.
According to a statement released by the club, “Following tests carried out today on our player Eduardo Camavinga by the Real Madrid medical services, he has been diagnosed with a complete rupture of the left adductor tendon.” This diagnosis confirms that Camavinga will be out for an extended period, ruling him out of Saturday’s Copa del Rey final against rivals Barcelona, as well as Madrid’s final five league matches.
Reports suggest that Camavinga’s recovery time is estimated to be around three months, which could also see him miss the Club World Cup in the United States this summer. The 22-year-old has struggled to find consistent form this season, despite playing a key role in Real Madrid’s La Liga and Champions League triumphs last year.
The injury is a significant blow to Real Madrid’s chances of closing the gap on league leaders Barcelona. With Camavinga out, the club will have to rely on other players to fill the void and help the team achieve its goals. Camavinga’s absence will undoubtedly be felt, given his importance to the team in recent seasons.
Real Madrid will need to regroup and reassess their strategy without Camavinga, but the club’s depth and talent will be put to the test in the coming weeks. The team’s medical staff will work to ensure Camavinga receives the best possible treatment and rehabilitation to set him up for a successful return to the pitch.
