In a significant setback for Real Madrid, star midfielder Eduardo Camavinga has sustained a serious knee injury during a recent training session. The France international, who had just returned from holiday after his participation in Euro 2024, twisted his knee at the Warsaw National Stadium, leading to an unfortunate collision with teammate Aurelien Tchouameni. The injury occurred just days before Real Madrid‘s crucial UEFA Super Cup clash against Atalanta.

What Happened?
The club confirmed the diagnosis following extensive tests: Camavinga has suffered a sprained internal collateral ligament in his left knee. Real Madrid’s medical team will closely monitor his recovery, but initial reports suggest that the 21-year-old midfielder could be out for up to seven weeks. This injury means Camavinga will miss not only the Super Cup but also the beginning of Real Madrid’s La Liga campaign, starting with their opening match against Mallorca at the Bernabeu on August 18.
Camavinga’s Emotional Message to Fans
In the wake of this disappointing news, Camavinga took to social media to express his feelings and gratitude towards the fans. On X (formerly Twitter), he wrote: “Deeply disappointed to pick up this injury and miss the start of the season. I will work hard to be back soon. Thank you for all the messages of support over the last few hours and also want to wish the team well for the game tonight!”
The Bigger Picture for Real Madrid
Camavinga’s absence is a significant blow to Real Madrid, as he has become one of the club’s most versatile and reliable players. Last season, the 21-cap international played a pivotal role in helping Los Blancos secure both the La Liga title and the UEFA Champions League. Head coach Carlo Ancelotti now faces the challenge of navigating the start of the season without one of his key players, which could impact Madrid’s bid to retain their crowns.
What’s Next for Camavinga and Real Madrid?
While the exact timeline for Camavinga’s return remains uncertain, it is clear that he will be sidelined for several crucial fixtures. Real Madrid fans and management alike will be hoping for a speedy recovery, as the team faces a challenging start to the season. In the meantime, all eyes will be on the UEFA Super Cup match against Atalanta, where Kylian Mbappe is expected to make his competitive debut for Los Blancos following his high-profile move from Paris Saint-Germain.
As Real Madrid prepares for their La Liga title defense, the club will need to adapt quickly to the absence of Eduardo Camavinga. The next few weeks will be critical in determining how well the team can cope without one of their brightest young stars.
