Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga has been forced to withdraw from the France national team training camp after sustaining a muscle issue, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed. The 22-year-old was expected to feature for Les Bleus in their upcoming international fixtures, but the injury has ruled him out of action for the time being.
Romano revealed that Didier Deschamps has responded swiftly to the setback by calling up Khephren Thuram as Camavinga’s replacement. The Nice midfielder will now join the France squad as they continue preparations for their upcoming matches, filling the void left by the Real Madrid star.
Camavinga’s absence will come as a concern for both France and Real Madrid, given his growing importance for club and country. Known for his versatility and tireless work rate, the young midfielder has been an integral part of Carlo Ancelotti’s setup this season, often featuring both in midfield and at left-back when required.
While the extent of his muscle issue remains unclear, Real Madrid will hope the injury is not serious, with a packed fixture list ahead after the international break. The Spanish giants are already dealing with multiple fitness concerns, and losing Camavinga for an extended period would be a significant blow to their midfield depth.
