Real Madrid midfielder unlikely to play vs Celta Vigo; targets return for Manchester City clash | OneFootball

Real Madrid suffered two fresh injury blows earlier this week as Trent Alexander-Arnold and Eduardo Camavinga had to be taken off with problems during the game against Athletic Club.

In the case of the right-back, he has a serious quadriceps muscle injury which has ruled him out of action for at least two months.

As for the midfielder, it has been reported that his ankle injury is very minor and that he could even be available to face Celta Vigo this Sunday.

However, as per the latest update from AS, Camavinga is unlikely to be fit and ready to play against Celta Vigo this weekend.

Instead, the idea is for the French international to try and be fully fit in time for the UEFA Champions League clash against Manchester City next Wednesday.

Camavinga was part of the starting lineup for Real Madrid against Athletic Club on Wednesday night. The 22-year-old midfielder even found the back of the net, getting on the end of Kylian Mbappe’s headed pass to make it 2-0 in the first half.

However, close to the 70th-minute mark, the former Rennes wonderkid had to be taken off due to a blow to his ankle.

Even though it was initially suggested that he could feature against Celta, the chances of that appear very slim. Instead, the focus will seemingly be on getting him in shape for the Manchester City encounter.

Camavinga, who had already missed the first month of the new season due to ankle injury, has played 15 games so far in all competitions. He has two goals and an assist to his name.
