Real Madrid midfielder only has a minor ankle sprain, not ruled out vs Celta Vigo | OneFootball

Real Madrid were greeted with some bad news earlier today as Trent Alexander-Arnold was confirmed to have picked up a significant thigh injury.

The 27-year-old right-back is now expected to be out of action for two months, meaning he will likely miss close to a dozen matches in all competitions.

However, the Merengues have better news when it comes to the injury of Eduardo Camavinga, who also picked up a knock vs Athletic Club and had to be taken off.

Camavinga has a minor sprain, could still play vs Celta Vigo

Indeed, according to COPE, Camavinga has sustained only a minor sprain to his ankle and his injury is not serious.

As such, at this point, it is not ruled out that he can play a part for Real Madrid in their upcoming match against Celta Vigo.

Starting ahead of Arda Guler on Wednesday, Camavinga had a good game, even scoring a goal, before being withdrawn in the 69th minute because of the ankle injury.

After initial examinations, there was optimism that the problem was not serious, and as it turns out, Camavinga only has a mild sprain.

The French international will undergo further tests on Saturday to determine whether he is ready to be included in the squad list to face Celta Vigo or not.

So far this season, Camavinga has made 15 appearances in all competitions for Real Madrid, scoring two and assisting one goal.

Even if he is declared fit, Alonso might refrain from starting Camavinga against Celta Vigo, keeping an eye on the UEFA Champions League clash against Manchester City.
