Bad news for Eduardo Camavinga and Real Madrid. The former Rennais had to leave training prematurely on the eve of the match against Braga.

At the top of La Liga before facing FC Barcelona next Saturday, and perfectly launched in the Champions League with two victories in two matches, Real Madrid have negotiated (very) well their start to the season. A performance of choice given the bad news that has accumulated for the Merengue club. Because in addition to having to relearn how to live without Karim Benzema, who left for Saudi Arabia, the Spanish vice-champions must cope without Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao, who are seriously injured.

And if Vinicius Jr, on the sidelines for several weeks, finally returned to the field more quickly than expected, the Madrid infirmary welcomed a new patient on Monday evening. According to AS, Eduardo Camavinga had to leave training on the eve of facing Braga in the Champions League. Holding his right leg as he returned to the locker room, the former Rennais was accompanied by two club doctors.

If the nature of his injury is not yet known, the French international is expected to miss this Tuesday evening’s match against Braga and is also highly doubtful for the clash against FC Barcelona next weekend. The native of Angola, who had played with the Blues against Scotland, was nevertheless preserved this weekend for the clash against Sevilla FC, starting the match on the bench before coming on to replace Aurélien Tchouameni shortly after the hour mark.
