Real Madrid midfielder expected to be available against Manchester City | OneFootball

Next Wednesday, Real Madrid host Premier League giants Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.

It promises to be a difficult challenge for the Merengues, who are set to be without key players like Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham, along with Eder Militao and Rodrygo Goes, among others.

Some good news with Camavinga

But, in a positive update, Fabrizio Romano reports that Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga is expected to be available for the game against Manchester City.

The 23-year-old star missed the last two matches against Getafe and Celta Vigo due to toothache from a dental infection.

While he did train a day before the game against Celta, it was ultimately decided not to call him up for the trip to Balaidos.

However, Camavinga is now expected to be ready for next week’s clash against Manchester City at the Santiago Bernabeu.

This comes after the French international trained with the rest of the squad during today’s recovery session at Valdebebas.

So far this season, Camavinga has played 30 matches in all competitions, scoring two and assisting one goal in the process.

The midfielder has come under criticism for his inconsistent performances, while fitness woes have once again caused him problems.

Moreover, reports suggested that manager Alvaro Arbeloa made a pointed remark towards Camavinga with his post-match comments after last night’s win against Celta Vigo for not pushing himself to be available for the match.

So, Camavinga will have redemption on his mind when he recovers and gets ready to return to action, possibly against Manchester City.
