WHAT HAPPENED?
The France international was injured in training, as he was inadvertently hurt by Paris Saint-Germain star Ousmane Dembele. Camavinga has subsequently undergone tests and reports that the 21-year-old will be absent until 2024, with seven games set to take place between now and the New Year.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
The youngster has been exceptional for Real this season and offers an option for Carlo Ancelotti in both midfield and at left-back. He has made 17 appearances in all competitions thus far this season. His loss will therefore be sorely felt, especially considering the injury to fellow defensive midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, who is expected to be out for six weeks.
