The national team break destroys Real Madrid: Vinicius and Camavinga, injured

SPORTS / By Carmen Gomaro

Black week at Real Madrid. The national team break, the third this season after those in September and October, threatens to completely disrupt this part of the white team's course. Eduardo Camavinga and Vinicius Júnior, two of their best players, have been injured with France and Brazil and will miss several weeks of competition. The Frenchman suffered a knee injury during training for the French team and the Brazilian was injured this past morning 20 minutes into Colombia-Brazil.. He suffered a challenge from Davinson Sánchez and a few minutes later he began to feel pain in his left thigh again, the same area that was damaged against Celta and that kept him away from the playing fields for a month.

The Brazilian asked for a change and the team's doctors put a heavy ice bandage on his leg.. The forecasts were not good. “I think it's the same as last time. I took a hit there and I resented it a little later. Tomorrow we will do tests to see how I go,” explained the footballer in the mixed zone.. “The doctors have told me that it is difficult for me to get to the next game,” he said about the match against Argentina, the South American soccer classic.. Logic invites us to think that the injury is serious enough so that it does not force him and that he will return to Madrid to undergo tests, just like Camavinga.

The Frenchman was injured yesterday in a French national team session after a clash with Dembélé. He abandoned training and after the first examination by the French Federation's medical services, they detected a sprained knee that could keep him out for two months.. This Friday he will undergo tests again in Valdebebas with the Madrid doctors, but the whites are not too optimistic.

Important anger from the Chamartín team due to the FIFA stoppages, about which they have complained more than once even when they have not suffered injuries to their players. This season, the footballers have traveled with their national teams in September, October and November. “The calendar does not make sense, it is too tight and with too many games. We have to evaluate the health of the players a little, they are the most important part of football. Here everyone thinks their own thing: LaLiga, the Federation, UEFA, FIFA…. They do not count on the players at all and this is not correct. Something has to change, there are too many parties,” he said a few weeks ago when asked about the issue.

Without Camavinga or Vinicius, with Bellingham resting due to his shoulder discomfort and with Tchouaméni also injured, in addition to an infirmary in which Kepa, Courtois, Militao, Ceballos and Güler were already working, the Italian coach has fewer and fewer alternatives in the center of the field and the attack of his team.
