Eduardo Camavinga has joined Real Madrid’s lengthy injury list after picking up a hamstring issue during Wednesday night’s Champions League defeat to Liverpool.
The France international, 22, was forced off just before the hour mark of the 2-0 defeat at Anfield with what appeared to be an injury to his left leg. He was replaced by Dani Ceballos.
The midfielder missed 12 games for club and country earlier this season with a left knee injury picked up in training prior to the UEFA Super Cup win over Atalanta in August.
Any significant absence will be keenly felt by Carlo Ancelotti’s side, who have seven games in a little over three weeks before their winter break.
The club have been hit with a number of injuries this season.
Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal are set for long spells out after suffering anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries while David Alaba is still working his way back from his own ACL tear.
Camavinga’s fellow midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni is currently sidelined with an ankle knock while Vinicius Junior this week suffered a hamstring injury which is likely to keep him out for three weeks. The Champions League trip to Atalanta on December 10 is a possible target for the Brazil international.
“Last year it wasn’t so different, we had this kind of problem,” Ancelotti said after the game.
“Today another player went down and we have to put up with it. Hopefully Rodrygo or Tchouameni can come back for the next game.”
Real Madrid return to action against Getafe in La Liga on Sunday.
