Boost for Real Madrid as midfielder set for early return from international break | OneFootball

Real Madrid have entered the international break with hearts in their mouths, with several key players currently at risk of picking up an injury, which could further extend their problems.

The reigning European champions are already with the injury of many star players including the likes of Aurelien Tchouameni, David Alaba, Eder Militao, Thibaut Courtois, Lucas Vazquez and Dani Carvajal.

Although Alaba is soon expected to return to team training, Real Madrid cannot afford another injury to a top player.

Camavinga set to return early

To that end, Real Madrid have received a welcome boost as star midfielder Eduardo Camavinga is set to return early from the international break, reports AS.

That is because the former Rennes starlet picked up a yellow card during France’s game against Israel.

As a result of this, the midfielder has been ruled out of France’s next Nations League game against Italy on Sunday, due to the accumulation of three yellow cards.

Camavinga’s suspension means he doesn’t have to remain in the French camp anymore and will not be playing any more international matches, at least for the year.

Real Madrid had feared Camavinga would pick an injury during the international break, as he is a crucial member of the French midfield unit.

But it appears the youngster could return to Madrid earlier than expected. In fact, the player could leave for the Spanish capital in a matter of hours.

An early return should give Camavinga some ample time to rest before Real Madrid resume their La Liga campaign against Leganes on November 24.
