Already unavailable for the World Cup qualifying match against Ukraine, he will also miss the match against Azerbaijan, as confirmed by the French selection. In Camavinga’s absence from training this week, coach Didier Deschamps called on Juventus midfielder Khephren Thuram to replace him.
Camavinga’s latest injury
According to Marca, Camavinga left the French team’s training camp following his injury sustained during Real Madrid’s match against Vallecano, which prevented him from training all week. This injury forced Deschamps to withdraw him from the squad for the match against Azerbaijan.
His obligations with the selection having been cut short, Camavinga will return to the Real Madrid training center, where the club’s doctors will carry out a complete assessment of his state of health. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but the player and club hope he will be recovered in time for Real Madrid’s next league match against Elche. Camavinga will now focus fully on his rehabilitation in order to return to the field as quickly as possible.
Camavinga and his injuries in 2025
Camavinga’s versatility has been a major asset at Real Madrid. His predecessor, Carlo Ancelotti, frequently used him in midfield, but also at left-back when needed. However, his injury history of late is cause for concern. In 2025 alone, he suffered three injuries, including two hamstring injuries, making him increasingly fragile. These repeated injuries affected his consistency and disrupted his rhythm during crucial moments of the season.
The coach of the French team, Jean-Jacques Deschamps, believes that injuries have affected Camavinga’s consistency: “ Unfortunately for him, he is injury prone, which prevents him from being consistent. »
He added: “He also wants to have more playing time, he wants to progress. Being spared from his physical problems would certainly allow him to be more regular, both with Real Madrid and with us. »
