Camavinga Leaves Team Due to Injury, Returning to Madrid for Recovery

Eduardo Camavinga will leave the French national team gathering to return to Madrid due to a muscle injury. He arrived at Clairefontaine earlier this week but did not participate in training with the squad and was already ruled out of the match against Ukraine (4-0). The French Football Federation (FFF) has confirmed that he will also miss the match on Sunday against Azerbaijan. Anticipating this situation, Didier Deschamps had called up Khéphren Thuram on Wednesday. Camavinga will now be assessed by the medical staff in Madrid to determine the exact nature of his injury.

The player’s goal is to quickly regain his fitness to be available when the season resumes, with the first La Liga match scheduled for November 23 against Elche, followed by an important Champions League fixture against Olympiakos three days later. Real Madrid had no reservations about Camavinga’s call-up, but his inability to train from the start ultimately forced his early return to the Spanish capital. This is another setback for the former Rennes player.
