Real Madrid midfielder targets return against Celta Vigo after injury scare

Real Madrid midfielder targets return against Celta Vigo after injury scare Although he does not get the same spotlight as some of the biggest stars in the team, the midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has remained a key player for Real Madrid ever since his signing for the Merengue club, back in 2022. This has been the case irrespective of who has been the team’s coach and what other options have been available for the defensive midfield position in the squad. However, physical problems have been an issue affecting the Frenchman quite often. He was unable to start training with the team at the start of the last preseason because he was playing in the World Cup, but his return was delayed even further because of an injury he suffered during the tournament. As a result, he was unable to play at the start of the season, but was still able to make himself an indispensable part of Jose Mourinho’s plans when he returned from injury. Thus, it must have been a serious concern for Los Blancos when the French midfielder had to leave his national side camp without playing even a single minute in this international break, because of a problem in his right groin. He was unable to complete training on Tuesday, and returned to Real Madrid, where he underwent detailed tests on Wednesday. Fortunately, his problem did not turn out to be anything serious. In fact, Diario AS reports that Tchouameni is already training at Valdebebas, aiming to be ready for the upcoming game against Celta Vigo, scheduled for November 21. The player will continue to undergo tests in coming days to assess whether he can be ready for the upcoming league game. However, even if he is not able to recover in time, it would not be a nightmare for Mourinho, as the infirmary is almost empty, and the Portuguese coach will have several other options available. Still, keeping in view the Frenchman’s importance in the team, the Real Madrid manager would want to have him available at least on the bench. For now, it remains to be seen whether Aurelien Tchouameni will be able to get back to a competitive level by Sunday, but the fact that he is already aiming to return for this game is itself good news for Real Madrid.
