The France international midfielder picked up a knee trouble during a training session and headed back to Madrid for a thorough medical review to assess the damage and plan the next steps in his recovery.
The news comes as a fresh blow for Real Madrid and for Eduardo Camavinga, who hurt his knee while working with the France squad and then returned to the Spanish capital for further checks and treatment.
The test can be watched live with France facing Gibraltar and then traveling to Greece, with the live coverage highlighting the ongoing assessment as medical teams work to determine the full extent of the problem.
Camavinga, who used to shine at Rennes, left the training ground on Wednesday, November 15, after a collision with Ousmane Dembélé during a routine drill with the national team. The French midfielder collapsed to the turf in clear discomfort, and while the incident initially appeared to be a scare, the newspaper AS reports that the issue is a knee sprain that could sideline him for a spell.
Over the next 24 to 48 hours, the player will undergo a new round of medical examinations in Valdebebas to evaluate ligament stability, swelling, and the overall condition of the joint. The medical team’s goal is to outline a precise rehabilitation timeline and clarify which matches Real Madrid might miss as Camavinga begins his healing process. Early indications point to a layoff of about eight weeks, though that timetable will depend on the findings of the imaging and clinical assessments.
As a result, Camavinga is set to miss France’s November fixtures, which feature a home game against Gibraltar and a trip to Greece in the final qualifiers before a European Championship that Les Bleus have already secured a place in. The delay will force national coach Didier Deschamps to reshuffle plans for the squad, balancing the need to secure qualification results with the long view of keeping a key modern midfielder fit for the season ahead.
Real Madrid will monitor the situation closely and adjust their schedule accordingly, with the club expected to provide updates as medical reviews continue and the recovery plan takes shape. The result remains a careful, ongoing process rather than a single-day update, underscoring how quickly a club can pivot when an essential player faces time on the sidelines.
Goal is the source for the initial reports on the incident and its potential implications across club and country schedules, with further details anticipated after the medical reviews are completed and more information becomes available.
