Real Madrid will decide on injured star’s availability against Celta Vigo next week – report

Real Madrid will decide on injured star’s availability against Celta Vigo next week – report It did not take long for Real Madrid’s first blow of the international break to arrive, and it was once again from the French national team camp. Just days into the hiatus, it came to light that Aurelien Tchouameni had suffered a blow in training and that his immediate future with the national team camp was unclear. Soon, it was revealed that the player would no longer travel with Zinedine Zidane’s side and that he would return to Madrid to further his recovery – a clear sign that his setback was bigger than initially expected. The decision point Now, as reported by Madridista Real , Tchouameni is recovering from the right thigh injury that forced him out of the national team with an unclear return date.

The final decision over his return date will be taken next week based on the progress he shows after rehabilitation. It is not ruled out, but the club will remain cautious and field the player only if he is back to his 100%. No need to take risks It is indeed true that Tchouameni’s injury arrived at a relatively uncomfortable time, especially given how he was slowly returning to his best alongside Arda Guler. A chance for Camavinga? (Photo by Florencia Tan Jun/Getty Images) At a time when Real Madrid’s midfield was finally showing signs of developing stability and a clear plan, there is no doubt that the Frenchman’s injury is a massive blow. Yet, the manager has sufficient options to tide through the situation, and do so comfortably. If the injured star is anywhere close to unfit, there must be no rush to push him back into action against Celta Vigo, for Eduardo Camavinga is a more than able replacement. After all, Tchouameni’s long-term fitness is the bigger priority. All eyes, thus, will not only be on the player’s recovery and sensations but also the manager’s priorities and decisions. The coming week will be crucial in that sense, and the club remain optimistic that the player can recover in time.
