UEFA Champions League 2023-24 winners Real Madrid suffer an early blow prior to their UEFA Super Cup title decider against Atalanta BC. The Galacticos star midfielder Eduardo Camavinga has been ruled out of the game, following an injury he suffered in a practice session, where he stepped his foot wrong while colliding with other players.
The phenomenal midfielder from France was seen crying hard soon after he fell off in the training session. Soon players and club staff rushed to help the 21-year-old prospect. The player left the training camp with a lot of pain. As per journalist Fabrizio Romano, Camavinga himself said that examinations of his injury are set to happen in the morning. In the attachment below, you can see the exact moment of injury.
As per reports from Mario Cortegana, the medical staff are suspecting a serious injury, most probably an internal ligament damage. However, an ACL tear is unlikely. Also, from the screams heard after the incident, it is clear that the extent of this injury is not mild.
While he is out from the Super Cup game, Carlo Ancelotti coached side will be hoping for his quick revival. Camavinga is expected to play a pivotal part in Real Madrid’s season ahead. Last season, he contributed in 31 La Liga and 11 Champions League games. Real Madrid clinched the trophy in both. His presence will also be vital with Toni Kross leaving the club after a decade of immense contributions.
Real Madrid are set to lock horns with Atalanta BC, in a few hours at the National Stadium of Warsaw. The club will be aiming to win this game to become the most successful club in the competition.
