Real Madrid's Franco Mastantuono Diagnosed With Pubalgia, Ruled Out of Anfield Trip

The club set no timeline for his return, leaving his comeback dependent on how the condition responds to treatment.

Overview

  • Real Madrid issued an official medical note confirming pubalgia and listing the 18-year-old as "pending evolution."
  • He will miss Tuesday's Champions League game at Liverpool, and reports indicate he is unlikely to feature at Rayo Vallecano this weekend.
  • Mastantuono skipped Monday's training after playing the full 90 minutes in Saturday's 4-0 win over Valencia.
  • No recovery window was provided by the club, though some outlets cite a provisional four-to-six-week estimate subject to medical reassessment.
  • His absence adds to injuries for Dani Carvajal, David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger, and it could affect his availability for Argentina's November friendlies.
