France and Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has gotten injured and will return to Madrid for further tests and treatment, France's Federation confirmed on Tuesday night.
He has suffered an injury in his adductor muscle, meaning that, for the second straight international break, he will train under Jose Mourinho at the Valdebebas.
Real Madrid fans would, first and foremost, hope that this injury that the player has suffered in training is only there for the short-term, as the Frenchman has already missed quite a few matches for Real Madrid already.
If he gets injured once again, it will make things difficult for Real Madrid considering they finally have some continuity and confidence flowing about them right now.
However, for the international break at least, Eduardo Camavinga will get more chances to play under Zinedine Zidane, which he could use to make another good impression on the legendary player and manager.
Eduardo Camavinga has the chance to impress Zinedine Zidane once again
Camavinga was called up by Zidane during the first international break of the season, and he generally had a very impressive run under the Frenchman. He started two games, and came on as a substitute in another, and that was the point where things really began to take off for Camavinga.
After that, he had some good performances for Real Madrid as well, and now, he has the received the call-up for France once again, which is excellent news for the midfielder.
This would be the perfect time for Camavinga to make a lasting impression on Zidane so that he remains in his good books and understands the level of quality that he can show in many games. It does seem like working under Mourinho and Zidane has shown Camavinga a side of him that rarely existed before him, and that could be put to the test during this international break.
None of this is to say Tchouameni won't get his opportunity later on, but these two players have enough talent to be starting games together for France, and if Camavinga is able to show his level, it could happen for sure.
Obviously, nothing is set in stone, but if he is to showcase his high level under Zidane now, maybe the French manager would start looking at him as an option to go for in more games in the future as well.
Real Madrid have long needed a consistent version of Camavinga to show up on the pitch, and this season, it seems like he has taken that step. Now, all he has to do is to keep doing what he is doing for club and country, and work with the same mindset that has got him to bounce back in such form. If he does that for France, it'll give him more confidence to do it for Real Madrid.
