Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga has suffered a left abductor tear.
Sources close to the club and player fear he will not recover in time for the Club World Cup, which begins in mid-June with the final on July 13.
The 22-year-old sustained the injury in Madrid’s 1-0 win over Getafe on Wednesday. He came on as a substitute at half-time, replacing David Alaba who was feeling discomfort himself, and ended the match limping. Manager Carlo Ancelotti said after the game that both players were dealing with “muscular problems” before the club confirmed Camavinga’s injury on Thursday.

“Following tests carried out today on Eduardo Camavinga by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a complete tear of the tendon in his left abductor muscle,” Madrid said in a statement.
The injury is a significant blow to Madrid, ruling Camavinga out of Saturday’s Copa del Rey final against Barcelona and potentially the rest of the domestic season. Madrid’s first game of the expanded Club World Cup is set to take place on June 18 against Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal.
Camavinga has made 34 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring twice, in what has been an injury-disrupted campaign.
A knee injury in August kept the France international out for more than a month before suffering a hamstring injury in November that caused him to miss five matches. He injured his hamstring again in January, sidelining him for another three weeks.
This is the latest injury setback for Madrid, who have had a host of players miss time this season, including Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao who are out with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears.
Left-back Ferland Mendy has been out since mid-March with a hamstring injury, though the club say that he is making good progress and has a chance to feature on Saturday alongside Kylian Mbappe, who missed the Getafe game. The club also say Alaba could be part of the squad if he gets through training without issue.
Arder Guler, making only his 11th start of the season, scored the only goal of the game against Getafe. Aurelien Tchouameni picked up a yellow card during the game which the club say they plan to appeal. Tchouameni is at risk of being suspended for Madrid’s clash with Barcelona in La Liga on March 11 if he is booked in the side’s next league fixture against Celta Vigo.
Madrid are second in La Liga on 72 points, four points behind leaders Barcelona with five games to play.
Another setback for Madrid in a ‘torrid’ campaign
Camavinga has been in and out of the team this season, but his injury only underlines what a torrid campaign this has been for Real Madrid.
Raul Asencio, Luka Modric, Arda Guler and Endrick are their only players not to have missed games through injury this term. Right-back Carvajal and Militao are out with long-term knee injuries while Mendy has missed nine matches with his hamstring injury.

Camavinga might have been in line to start at left-back in the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona before this latest setback. That is not the Frenchman’s preferred position but he has often performed better there than Fran Garcia, who struggled against Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-finals. After the win against Getafe, Ancelotti admitted that academy graduate Garcia would have to play the Clasico.
But this is also another blow for the versatile Camavinga, who has yet to fully establish himself at Madrid since moving to the Spanish capital in 2021. Madrid are still struggling to move on from Toni Kroos in midfield after the German’s retirement last summer — they need all the help they can get in that department if they are to have any hopes of winning the Copa del Rey or La Liga before the revamped Club World Cup in the United States this summer.

No edge rushers for Lions on NFL Draft Day 2 as Brad Holmes sticks to his plan
ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Brad Holmes and the Detroit Lions war room were spotted wearing hoodies that read “HWS” — height, weight, speed — crossed out. The Lions typically coordinate their apparel during draft weekend. They’ve worn “positional villain” hoodies. They’ve collectively worn Dan Campbell jerseys, perhaps an ode to drafting Dan Campbell guys. So when Holmes emerged Friday at the end of night two, he explained the latest draft-related message.Advertisement“Height, weight, speed — it is the opposite of film evaluation, and we’re all about film evaluation,” Holmes said. “That’s the hard part of scouting. Height, weight, speed is easy. Stats are easy. A position listed is easy. But film evaluation is hard to figure out.”The Lions believe in film. They believe it doesn’t lie. The film told them that Georgia guard Tate Ratledge and Arkansas wide reciever Isaac TeSlaa […]
With Game 3 win, Devils show resolve that could benefit them long beyond the playoffs
NEWARK, N.J. — Friday night’s double-overtime victory doesn’t mean the New Jersey Devils will win this series. It doesn’t even mean they’ll reach Game 6. They are still the heavy underdogs and trailing 2-1 against a Carolina Hurricanes team that is healthier and has more recent playoff success. Not many people would bat an eye if Carolina won the next two games and sent the Devils home for the summer.AdvertisementBut that doesn’t change the importance of New Jersey’s Game 3 win. It’s the type of game that will stick with players on the roster, from overtime hero Simon Nemec — a healthy scratch earlier this series — to Jonas Siegenthaler, who played his first game since February, to young players like Paul Cotter and Cody Glass, who took their first-ever playoff overtime shifts.It’s the type of win that builds the […]
Anthony Edwards is two wins from adding LeBron James and Luka Dončić to his collection of playoff victims
Getty Images In hindsight, it's a bit surprising how comfortably Anthony Edwards deferred to the NBA's elder statesmen at the Olympics.The brashest player in the NBA happily came off of the bench as Stephen Curry, LeBron James and Kevin Durant led Team USA to gold. Never mind that he'd just swept Durant out of the playoffs. He played only 13 minutes when Team USA overcame Nikola Jokić and Serbia in the semifinals. Maybe the game wouldn't have been so close if Edwards had seen more minutes. After all, he'd just beaten Jokić in the playoffs too.That Olympic tournament set up what essentially became the narrative of professional basketball for the next year. It was supposed to be one last ride for a legendary generation of American players, one that would set Edwards and his generational cohort up to take the […]
