Torn lateral ligament in the knee: Real Madrid will have to be without Camavinga for a long time

Injured in the national team

Midfielder Eduardo Camavinga from Real Madrid is expected to be sidelined for several months after tearing the lateral ligament in his knee. The Royals announced the results of a corresponding investigation on Friday; the Frenchman had previously been injured during a national team training session.

The 21-year-old will therefore miss Real’s last two Champions League group games against Napoli and Union Berlin. The currently second most valuable French professional moved from Rennes to the Spanish capital in 2021 at the age of 18 for a fee of 31 million euros and has won six titles with the record champions in his first two seasons to date (for an overview).

While the left-footed player was still waiting for his first goal contribution for coach Carlo Ancelotti’s team in the current LaLiga season, he has a total of two goals and five assists from 114 competitive games for Real. Camavinga, who is sometimes used as a substitute left-back in Madrid, extended his contract until 2029 last week.
