Eduardo Camavinga will miss the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona and the rest of the season. The French footballer had to leave the pitch in the final minutes of the match between Getafe and Real Madrid, leaving his team with ten men in the final stretch of the game.
Camavinga misses the rest of the season
A major setback for Real Madrid ahead of the Copa del Rey final and the rest of the season. Eduardo Camavinga has suffered a complete tear of his left abductor tendon. This is a very serious injury, as the player could be out for the start of the new season. Real Madrid will now have to decide whether the player will undergo surgery or not.
Depending on the type of tear, there are several possible scenarios: If he does not undergo surgery, recovery could take between three and five months. However, complete tears usually require surgery. In this case, recovery times would be longer, between four and six months, and could even reach nine months in extreme cases.
A significant loss for Real Madrid
Eduardo Camavinga is a significant loss for the team. From the moment he suffered the tear, following a tackle by Milla in the final minutes, everything indicated that the injury was not minor, but the severity is surprising given that, at first, the player tried to continue on the field, perhaps knowing that leaving the field would leave his team a man down. However, it soon became clear that this was impossible, as he could barely walk to leave the field.
Real Madrid loses a key player who could play his natural position in midfield and occupy the left-back position. In fact, everything indicated that he would play in this position in the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona this Saturday.
It is true that Camavinga was not going through his best spell since joining Real Madrid, and there were doubts about his future and that Madrid might be willing to listen to offers, but it is also true that, at this point in the season, he is a very important, versatile player who offered Ancelotti many options, and his absence is a serious problem for the rest of the season.
Camavinga’s future
As we have been reporting on Grada3 in recent weeks, Camavinga was one of Real Madrid’s options to raise funds this summer and make new signings. The French footballer, with an approximate market value of €70 million, seemed to be a solution to fill the club’s coffers and renew a squad that has shown many weaknesses during the season. However, this serious injury puts a stop to any attempt by Florentino Pérez to put Camavinga on the market this summer.
Camavinga is therefore assured of another season at Real Madrid. We will see if the team’s plans for treating the injury and how long he will be out of action are finally confirmed. What is clear is that the French midfielder will not be pulling on the Real Madrid shirt again this season. This is a major setback for Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti, who will play the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona on Saturday and still have several games left to try to mount a comeback in La Liga and win a championship that looks very difficult. Injuries continue to hit Real Madrid hard, and they will have to face the final stretch with a squad that has been unable to overcome absences throughout the season.
