Real Madrid to be without key player for 2-3 weeks as injury crisis worsens

Real Madrid were already without the services of Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, David Alaba, Aurelien Tchouameni, Rodrygo Goes and Vinicius Junior for Wednesday's defeat at Liverpool, and that injury list was added to at Anfield when Eduardo Camavinga came on in the second half was forced to leave. .

Camavinga appeared to suffer a hamstring injury, leading to fears of another significant injury layoff for the 21-year-old midfielder, who had already been out for two months at the start of this season. However, it has now turned out that the problem is not too bad.

According to El Chiringuito, Camavinga is only expected to be out for two to three weeks, although this would still mean he misses at least four games.

Real Madrid are hoping Camavinga can be reinstated for the match against Rayo Vallecano on December 14 – if not, his return will be postponed until the Intercontinental Cup. It is a blow for Carlo Ancelotti, although he is expected to soon find a ready-made replacement in Tchouameni ahead of Sunday's match against Getafe.
