Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga is out for the season with a torn groin tendon. The French international will miss the Copa del Rey final and Club World Cup, posing a major setback for Real Madrid’s title chase as injuries pile up late in the campaign.
Real Madrid have been dealt a significant blow ahead of the season’s climax as midfielder Eduardo Camavinga has been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign due to a serious groin injury. The French international sustained the injury during Real Madrid’s 1-0 victory over Getafe in La Liga on Wednesday night.
The 22-year-old was substituted at halftime, and subsequent medical examinations confirmed a complete tear of the tendon in his left adductor muscle. The club officially confirmed the diagnosis on Thursday through a statement from their medical team, indicating that his recovery will be monitored in the coming weeks.
Camavinga’s absence is expected to extend over the next three months, meaning he will not only miss the final stretch of La Liga fixtures but also the prestigious Club World Cup, which is scheduled for June and July. Having made 34 appearances across all competitions this season, his contribution has been crucial for Los Blancos.
This setback comes at a critical moment for Carlo Ancelotti’s side as they gear up for the Copa del Rey final against arch-rivals Barcelona on Saturday. Real Madrid are already grappling with several injury concerns, including key players like Kylian Mbappe, Ferland Mendy, and David Alaba. Camavinga’s absence further limits Ancelotti’s midfield options during a crucial phase of the campaign.
Despite the injury blow, Real Madrid managed to stay in contention in the league with a disciplined performance against Getafe. The only goal of the game came from Turkish talent Arda Guler, who capitalized on a loose ball following a save from David Soria to fire home from the edge of the area. Soria kept the hosts in the game with several impressive stops, while Real’s defense remained firm, giving goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois a relatively quiet evening.
With five matches left to play, Real Madrid sit second in the La Liga standings, four points behind leaders Barcelona. The coming weeks will be crucial as the team seeks to close the gap in the title race, now without one of their most dynamic midfielders.
