- Real Madrid's Eduardo Camavinga suffers a knee ligament sprain in training session.
- The injury will sideline him for up to seven weeks, missing key upcoming matches.
- Camavinga's absence poses a challenge for Real Madrid in their upcoming fixtures.
New footage has emerged revealing the injury sustained by Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga just a day before the team's Super Cup match against Atalanta. The incident occurred during a training session at Warsaw's National Stadium, where the 21-year-old suffered a sprain to the internal collateral ligament in his left knee. Following the injury, Real Madrid confirmed that Camavinga would miss the start of the 2024-2025 season, with an expected recovery time of up to seven weeks. The injury was captured in a video circulating on social media, showing Camavinga colliding with teammate Aurelien Tchouameni while contesting for the ball. Despite the severity of the situation, Camavinga managed to walk off the pitch with assistance from the club's medical staff. However, the club's medical tests later confirmed the ligament sprain, ruling him out of the opening La Liga match against Mallorca this weekend. In a statement expressing his disappointment, Camavinga thanked fans for their support and wished his teammates well for the upcoming match. Meanwhile, Real Madrid's Super Cup match against Atalanta saw a tense first half, with both teams hitting the woodwork. Ultimately, Real Madrid secured a 2-0 victory, with Kylian Mbappe scoring the second goal after an assist from Jude Bellingham. Camavinga's absence will be felt as he misses not only the Super Cup but also several La Liga matches, with hopes of returning in time for the Madrid derby against Atletico, scheduled for late September.
