Real Madrid staff relieved by midfielder’s return from injury, very impressed with his physical levels | OneFootball

According to a recent report from Fernando Tavero in AS, Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti and his coaching team are breathing a sigh of relief with the return of Eduardo Camavinga, as his physical condition has surpassed their expectations.

After suffering a serious injury right before the UEFA Super Cup against Atalanta, Camavinga’s absence created a significant void in the midfield, particularly with Toni Kroos no longer on the squad.

His recent comeback, though, has brought renewed optimism to the team.

An impressive return post-injury

Camavinga’s performance since his return has been impressive. During the UEFA Champions League tie against Lille, he showcased his abilities with a remarkable 92% passing accuracy.

He also dominated in aerial duels, winning three of them, while recovering seven balls—only Dani Carvajal had more with eight.

The midfielder also successfully completed two tackles, demonstrating his readiness to engage physically in the game.

Furthermore, his display against Villarreal further cemented his status as a key player. He once again led the team in recoveries, managing to regain possession six times, and made three successful tackles.

Ancelotti is satisfied

This level of performance adds significant value to Ancelotti’s midfield, providing a blend of creativity, explosiveness, and aggression. This combination is crucial for a Real Madrid team still in the process of rebuilding.

For Camavinga, playing time is essential, which makes the recent international break a beneficial opportunity. Despite returning from a sprained knee earlier than anticipated, he has shown that he is in excellent shape.

His readiness to contribute to the team is a positive sign for both the player and the coach as they look to strengthen their position in the league.

With Camavinga back on the field, Real Madrid have a potent mix of talent and physicality at their disposal, which could prove vital as the season progresses.
