Real Madrid start their La Liga season on August 19 against Osasuna, with their final preseason friendly coming on August 12 against Tirol.
The club has also had a busy summer transfer window, with multiple incomings expected to bolster Xabi Alonso’s side.
Real are still missing the midfield presence that Toni Kroos had, and one of their star midfielders is now in danger of missing time.
Which midfielder could miss the start of the season?
According to The Athletic, Eduardo Camavinga has sustained an ankle injury and could be out for a few weeks.
The extent of his injury is unknown, but the midfielder won’t be rushing to regain fitness, especially after his injury woes of last season.

Camavinga, one of Real’s most trusted midfielders, has missed their last few training sessions and is unlikely to feature in their upcoming friendly.
The French midfielder was ruled out of Real’s final six games of last season with an abductor injury.
Camavinga faced three other injury spells, forcing him to make only 35 appearances in all competitions for Real.
The midfielder has been crucial for Real since signing in 2021, making his injury a brutal one should it keep him out for the La Liga opener.
