Overview
- Medical tests on Thursday identified a left semitendinosus muscle injury after he finished the Anfield loss with discomfort.
- He will miss Sunday’s visit to Rayo Vallecano and is expected to sit out the upcoming France international window.
- The club did not give a recovery timetable and said his availability will depend on how the injury evolves.
- Spanish outlet COPE reports an estimated three-week absence, a timeframe that has not been confirmed by Real Madrid.
- Eduardo Camavinga is the likely short-term replacement as injuries to Dani Carvajal and Franco Mastantuono and issues for Antonio Rüdiger, David Alaba, Dean Huijsen and Éder Militão strain the defense.
