We will not see Eduardo Camavinga with the French team jersey at the end of the year. The Real Madrid midfielder left training on Wednesday at Clairefontaine, suffering from knee pain after contact with teammate Ousmane Dembélé, and will not play the two qualifying matches for Euro 2024 against Gibraltar and Greece.
According to the Spanish press, the former Stade Rennais player will return to Madrid this Thursday to carry out medical examinations at Valdebebas, the Merengue training center. If the player initially assured that he was fine, the first tests indicated a significant injury. According to Canal+Camavinga should be away from the field for at least 5 to 6 weeks.
WZE, the youngest blue since 1911
The absence of Camavinga on Saturday, and the withdrawal of the other Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni (fractured metatarsal), strengthens the chances of seeing young Warren Zaire-Emery starting for the first time in midfield , perhaps alongside Adrien Rabiot.
If he plays on Saturday, the Paris SG nugget will become at 17 years, 8 months and 10 days the youngest French international since 1911. The record will still belong to Félix Vial, 17 years, two months and 15 days when he played against Luxembourg October 29, 1911 (4-1 victory). He died at age 20 during the First World War.
