Mastantuono on Real Madrid injury: Argentina fans can relax | OneFootball

The latest medical report from Real Madrid has set off alarms in the Argentine National Team, which is about to start its last tour of 2025 and play a friendly match against Angola on November 14 in Luanda. Franco Mastantuono is suffering from a groin injury, and the club has not provided a recovery timeline, although the left-footed midfielder himself explained his injury and reassured everyone.

After the last training session, the former River player stopped his car to sign autographs and take photos with fans who were eagerly waiting for the players. At that moment, El Chiringuito's microphone appeared, and he couldn't dodge the questions.

When asked about how he feels physically, the 18-year-old lefty gave a thumbs up: "Good, better...". He revealed that it's not a new ailment, even though it showed up in recent tests: "It's been a while now, but it's very good."

Last Friday, Mastantuono was already seen leaving Real Madrid's facilities with the doctor, and since then, there has been speculation that he might not be at 100%. The truth is that this Tuesday he revealed the reason behind his visit to a clinic: "No, I went to get a vaccine. I went out to do that."

The friendly match on November 14 against Angola requires the National Team players to receive a series of preventive vaccines to avoid endemic diseases in the region. Since Lionel Scaloni planned to include the midfielder in this tour and even give him several minutes on the field, he had to comply with the mandatory inoculation against yellow fever, poliomyelitis, hepatitis A, typhoid fever, cholera, meningococcal meningitis, as well as optional ones against hepatitis B, tetanus, diphtheria, malaria, and rabies.

The friendly match is getting closer, and Argentina's list is expected to be officially announced in the coming hours. It is still unknown if Mastantuono will be included, as he couldn't provide much detail about his return to the field. "I don't know, friend," he replied when asked about when he will put on his boots again.
