Eduard Camavinga broke his silence this Wednesday following his injury to the left knee. Injured during training, the French midfielder of Real Madrid will miss the start of the season.
It’s just bad luck. On the eve of Real Madrid’s first official match of the season, this Wednesday in the UEFA Super Cup against Atalanta, Eduardo Camavinga injured his left knee. Injured during training after a collision with his compatriot Aurélien Tchouaméni, even though the young midfielder’s foot seemed to slip before the duel, ‘Cama’ is suffering from a “sprain of the medial collateral ligament of the left knee” according to the initial information provided by the Madrid club. But this does not prevent him from staying confident.
“Deeply disappointed to have sustained this injury and to miss the start of the season,” reacted the French midfielder of the merengue club after this injury which forces him to withdraw against the Dea. “I will work hard to return soon.”

“Thank you for all the supportive messages”
Still awaiting further medical examinations and potentially out for several weeks, six or seven according to estimates reported by some media, Eduardo Camavinga does not intend to let this stroke of misfortune affect him before the league resumes and the start of the Real season. The 21-year-old player also took the opportunity to express his gratitude to the Madrid fans on social media after the outpouring of affection received following his injury.
“Thank you for all the supportive messages in recent hours, and I also wish good luck to the team for tonight’s match,” continued the international with 21 caps. “Thank God, always.”
This Wednesday, it is indeed without Eduardo Camavinga that Real Madrid will attempt to secure their sixth title in the UEFA Super Cup. Should they win against Atalanta, the Madrid club will become the most decorated in the history of the competition, ahead of Barça and AC Milan. If ‘Cama’ is not fit, Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr are expected to make their first joint starting appearance in Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
