Real Madrid star tipped for first start of the season vs Kairat | OneFootball

A member of the midfield ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid is expected to be afforded his first start of the campaign in the club’s next outing.

That’s according to Marca, who point towards Eduardo Camavinga as the player in question.

Camavinga has for his part spent recent weeks working his way back towards full fitness.

This comes after the Frenchman, first sidelined through a muscular injury late last season, suffered an untimely setback just weeks out from the new campaign being kicked into gear.

Xabi Alonso has afforded appearances to Camavinga in each of his side’s last three fixtures, albeit all from the bench.

As alluded to above, though, on Tuesday, a much-needed start appears to be in store for the 22-year-old.

Real Madrid are of course primed to return to action later this evening, in a Champions League meeting with Kazakh outfit Kairat.

And according to Marca, Camavinga will be in from the off, amid a heavily-rotated Blancos XI.
