As the last national team call-ups of the season began this past Tuesday, Real Madrid sent several players to play for their country.

The first round of games went as planned, with no injuries or risks for the team. However, the second round of games has already dealt Madrid a big blow.

Eduardo Camavinga got hurt while playing for France in a friendly against Chile and had to leave the game. The player had to be taken off before the end of the first half because it looked like he hurt his ankle.

This was the second injury in this game. In the 11th minute, Jonathan Clauss also had to leave the game because of an injury. Jules Kounde, a defender for Barcelona, took his place as the right-back.

What this means for Madrid

In the second half of the season, when Carlo Ancelotti finally found his ideal middle trio, Camavinga was one of Madrid’s most important players.

Federico Valverde, Camavinga, and Toni Kroos will be the three stars for the Italian coach at the gala. This dynamic works great for Madrid because all of their players are good at playing parts both upfront and further back.

Aurelien Tchouameni is still a big part of the team, but he has been playing center-back a lot lately because of all the injuries in the defense.

The injury to Camavinga hasn’t been given a time frame yet, but he might not be able to play this weekend against Athletic Club or in the first leg of the Champions League match against Manchester City.

Madrid will be hoping that the French player can get back in time for the two-legged match at the Etihad Stadium.

Also, Thibaut Courtois, Eder Militao, and David Alaba have all torn their ACLs this season, which is bad news for Real Madrid.
