Real Madrid Dealt Pre Season Setback with Midfield Star Out

Real Madrid’s injury concerns have resurfaced ahead of the 2025 /26 season with Eduardo Camavinga sidelined once again by ankle problem.

The 21 year old missed large parts of last season due to fitness issues and his latest setback raises fresh concerns for Los Blancos.

Recurring Problem for the Midfield Star

According to The Athletic, Camavinga's aggravated the same ankle injury he sustained at the end of last season. A club statement confirmed:

"Following tests carried out today by Real Madrid’s medical services, our player Eduardo Camavinga has been diagnosed with sprain in his right ankle"

Timeline for Recovery Still Unclear

Spanish outlet Marca reports the midfielder could be out for up to 10 day having already missed several training sessions including Sunday’s morning workout. This makes his participation in Tuesday’s final pre season friendly against Austrian side Tirol unlikely.

Doubt Over LaLiga KickOff

There're also doubts over Camavinga’s availability for Madrid’s opening La Liga fixture against Osasuna on 19 Aug. The full extent of the injury's still unclear and complete recovery may take several weeks.

Background

Camavinga endured frustrating 2024 /25 season marked by injuries contributing to Real Madrid’s trophyless campaign.

The club eager to avoid repeat, will hope for swift and full recovery as they aim to challenge for domestic & european honours.
