Eduardo Camavinga took a blow to his recently injured right knee during the Copa del Rey match between Atlético and Real Madrid.
Like the entire Real Madrid team, Eduardo Camavinga was shaken up Thursday evening on the pitch of Atlético de Madrid, where the Merengues were eliminated from the Copa del Rey (4-2 ap).
The French international did not finish the match. After receiving a blow to the right knee, following contact with Antoine Griezmann, the former Rennais was replaced at half-time in extra time. Initially starting in midfield, Camavinga moved to left back after the exit of Ferland Mendy in the 66th minute. In the 106th, he gave way to Fran Garcia.
A new injury for Real?
Sport recalls that the right knee is the one where Camavinga was injured in mid-November, which cost him a month and a half of absence. “The injury nightmare continues at Real Madrid”worries the Spanish daily, which noted that the Frenchman wore a bandage on his right knee during this meeting, a sign that he has not yet completely recovered from his previous physical problem.
Asked about Camavinga’s exit at a press conference, Carlo Ancelotti did not seem concerned. The Italian coach simply indicated that the Frenchman and Nacho, who left at the same time as him, had been replaced because they were “tired”.
