Aurélien Tchouameni was again the only French international in Real Madrid during the third meeting at the Club World Cup on Thursday in Philadelphia. The 3-0 victory (goals from Vinicius, Federico Valverde and Gonzalo Garcia) allows the Merengues to finish at the top of their group for an eighth finals against Juventus (and not Manchester City), in the part of the PSG painting. Kylian Mbappé and Eduardo Camavanga stayed at the Base Camp in Florida.
While the captain of the French team continues his rethletics after a gastroenteritis that bedridden for several days arriving in the United States, “Cama”, perfect his physical condition, two months after a breakdown of the left adductor, April 23 against Getafe in Liga. The midfielder therefore missed the end of the Spanish season and then the Final Four of the League of Nations with the Blues.
“Camavong is advancing quickly, still a little more with the team. I do not know if he will be available for the next match, but we hope to see him back soon. It's a top player and we need him ”said his new coach Xabi Alonso on the eve of Salzburg-Real. The former Rennais was therefore not integrated into the group for the meeting in Pennsylvania.
A place to take for Camavonga
Eduardo Camavonga, often lugged from post to post, is the author of a fourth shy season at Casa Blanca, with two small goals scored (one in Liga, another in the King's Cup) and two assists in all competitions. He was not decisive during his nine appearances in the Champions League for example.
The 22-year-old tricolor international can be of great service to Xabi Alonso, especially if the Basque strategist is once again playing his team in 3-5-2 as against Salzburg. Arda Güler has evolved left relayer of the system, but the Turkish prodigy is obviously less impactful to recovery. “Cama”, if he should not have a lot of playing time in the last Real matches at the World Cup club, will have to respond to the resumption of La Liga. Jude Bellingham will be operated on a shoulder and will miss almost three months of competition.
