La Liga giants Real Madrid have on Wednesday been dealt a 2nd blow on the injury front.
La Liga giants Real Madrid were dealt a second injury blow on Wednesday after midfielder Eduardo Camavinga joined defender Trent Alexander-Arnold in limping out of their match against Athletic Club at the Estadio de San Mamés, according to a report from Get Spanish Football News.
Alexander-Arnold was the first to depart, managing “just over 45 minutes” before going to ground in discomfort and leaving the field. His teammate Camavinga, aged 23, was “soon joined in being hauled off prematurely.”
The Frenchman’s issue “appeared to come in the form of a muscular one,” as he was observed having “suddenly pulled up off the ball.”
The loss of two key players puts a damper on an otherwise positive evening for Los Blancos, who secured a victory.
Both players now face an “anxious wait” regarding their fitness. They are scheduled to undergo a “round of medical checks and scans over the days ahead.”
The club must wait for the results of these medical evaluations to be made public, which will determine “whether either player is facing up to any kind of significant incoming spell on the treatment table.”
The article highlights that this constitutes a concerning day for the Spanish giants regarding squad availability.
