Official: Real Madrid youngster sidelined with thigh injury; out for 2 to 3 weeks
Following his substitution during the game against Liverpool last night, Real Madrid have now confirmed that Eduardo Camavinga has suffered a thigh injury.
“Following tests carried out today on our player Eduardo Camavinga by the club’s Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a muscle injury in the femoral biceps of his left leg. Pending evolution,” the statement from the club read.
Camavinga pulled up clutching the back of his thigh around the 57th minute during the contest at Anfield last night, raising alarms.
The 22-year-old was soon taken off with Dani Ceballos taking his place on the pitch even as Real Madrid fell to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool.
Speculations suggested that Camavinga could be out for at least two weeks but an official update regarding his injury was awaited.
Following tests, Real Madrid have now confirmed the nature of the French international’s injury as per the aforementioned statement.
Building on that, journalist Arancha Rodriguez reports that the midfielder is expected to be out for a period of two to three weeks, which comes as a fresh blow for Carlo Ancelotti.

English legend backs Real Madrid star to become one of the all-time greats: ‘He’s got everything’
Jude Bellingham has spent the past fortnight as the most talked-about footballer in England, and the superlatives show no sign of slowing down.
A masterclass in the Nations League, a clutch of records and a second straight Player of the Year award has not gone unnoticed in English footballing media.
Now one of the English game’s most respected voices has added his name to the growing list of believers.
Lineker backs Bellingham
Asked whether Bellingham can go on to become one of the greatest players of all time, England legend Gary Lineker left no room for doubt.
“Yes, I’ve been saying it for a long time now. If he avoids serious injury or falls of the rails which he won’t I’m sure.
“He’s so good at football, he’s got everything. He’s a superstar and carries himself like a superstar,” he said (h/t Track Radio).
The verdict chimes comes in the midst of a wider chorus of acclaim in recent days. Roy Keane tipped him to become one of the greatest of all time after the Croatia rout, with Ian Wright and Micah Richards among others queuing up to praise him.
Backed by the numbers
The acclaim for Bellingham comes on the back of an extraordinary international break for Bellingham.
Against Croatia, Bellingham scored one and created three in the 7-0 win, becoming the first England player to record four goal involvements in a single game since David Platt in 1993.
He finished the window with one goal and four assists and was named UEFA’s Player of the Round.
That international excellence has carried over to the Bernabeu, where he has settled into a free number 10 role under Jose Mourinho and sits as the club’s joint-leading creator.
Bellingham was part of Real Madrid’s recent 1-0 win over Villarreal as well, and was unlucky not to register an assist when Vinicius Jr.’s goal was disallowed.
The Englishman will be looking to make an impact once again when Real Madrid take on AS Roma this Wednesday.
