Camavinga joins Vinicius and Rodrygo on growing Real Madrid injury list

Real Madrid have confirmed that midfielder Eduardo Camavinga sustained a hamstring injury during their Champions League defeat to Liverpool.

Camavinga was replaced by Dani Ceballos in the 56th minute during Wednesday’s 2-0 loss at Anfield, and the club revealed he is expected to spend a period on the sidelines.

The Frenchman adds to Madrid’s already extensive injury list, joining the likes of Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, David Alaba, Eder Militao, and Dani Carvajal on the injury table.

An official club statement read: “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.”

This growing list of absentees has raised serious concerns about the team’s depth and their ability to compete effectively both domestically and in the Champions League.

The loss against Liverpool has already left Madrid’s Champions League qualification hopes hanging in the balance, finding themselves 24th in the new 36-team table after five games.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side welcome Getafe to the Bernabeu this Sunday, hoping to close the gap to rivals Barcelona at the summit of the LaLiga standings, who are just four points ahead, with Madrid having played a game less.
