OFFICIAL: Eduardo Camavinga has been diagnosed with a muscle injury in the femoral biceps of his left leg.
Real Madrid cruised through their Copa del Rey clash with Celta Vigo on Thursday evening, and while the winners trailed 5-2, the Galicians pushed them to the limit. That victory came at a price.
Los Blancos have confirmed that Eduardo Camavinga has suffered a hamstring injury, with Marca saying it will keep the French midfielder out for a total of three weeks. The Frenchman has struggled with physical problems at various times this season, coming into the final third of the match against Celta. He switched to left back when Fran Garcia was replaced in the closing stages of the 90 minutes.
It is another blow for Ancelotti, who will have to rely even more on Fede Valverde, Dani Ceballos, Aurelien Tchouameni and Luka Modric. Camavinga will miss Real Madrid's Liga matches with Las Palmas (H), Real Valladolid (A) and Espanyol (A), as well as their remaining Champions League group matches against RB Salzburg (H) and Brest (A). The saving grace for Carlo Ancelotti is that he should be back in time for the Madrid derby at the Bernabeu on February 8 or 9.
