During Real Madrid’s final training session in Warsaw befor the UEFA Super Cup final against Atalanta, Eduardo Camavinga collided with teammate Aurelien Tchouameni, resulting in an injury to his knee.

The French international was visibly in pain, shouting out after the incident, and remained on the ground for several moments during a small-sided game. He eventually got to his feet and exited the pitch with the help of the medical staff, while the rest of the team continued their preparations.

Initial reports from Real Madrid’s medical team suggest that Camavinga has suffered a significant sprain in his left knee. As a result, he will be sidelined for the UEFA Super Cup final against Atalanta.
