Real Madrid confirms Eduardo Camavinga's recovery time: 'He will be...'

Camavinga was injured at San Mamés and Real Madrid confirms how long he will be away from the field

Joy has settled in at Real Madrid after the important victory at San Mamés. Xabi Alonso's team needed a win like this to recover their form and reinforce their confidence. Mbappé excelled brightly once again, the team proved to be focused on all levels, and Courtois made several decisive saves at key moments in the match.

However, despite the widespread euphoria over the three points, concern quickly shifted to Eduardo Camavinga. The French midfielder left the field with discomfort and presented a worrying image by showing clear signs of pain. His absence could be decisive for the team at this moment, and the truth is that his injury history doesn't inspire optimism.

Eduardo Camavinga sets off alarms again with his injury history

The Frenchman raises doubts because last season he was sidelined for 159 days (159 días), an alarming figure for such an important player. This season, he's already missed 37 days (37 días) of competition, which fuels internal concern. His limping exit from the field against Athletic Club reopened an inevitable debate.

The initial examinations of his ankle didn't generate optimism, and the fear of a serious injury was real. Real Madrid knows that Eduardo Camavinga is key to keeping balance in midfield. Losing him for a long period would've been a major blow for the team.

Real Madrid breathe: Eduardo Camavinga will be sidelined for less time than desired

However, against all odds, the tests carried out in recent hours have completely changed the outlook. The doctors have determined that Eduardo Camavinga's injury is much milder than the initial impressions suggested. The club has conveyed calm by assuring that "he'll be sidelined for less time than desired, he only has a sprain".

Camavinga's quick recovery is excellent news for Xabi Alonso. The coach saw him as the ideal piece to connect all the lines of the team. His presence improves defensive balance and ball distribution, both essential aspects of the current approach.

His early return will allow Real Madrid to keep a competitive structure during the most demanding stretch of the season. Eduardo Camavinga brings energy, tactical intelligence, and a reading of the game that few players his age possess. With him available, the team gains reliability in transitions and strength in midfield, so his absence of just two weeks is great news for Real Madrid.
