Top France midfielder returns to Real Madrid for knee injury tests

Eduardo Camavinga is set to depart the France squad on Thursday, heading back to Madrid following a knee injury sustained during Wednesday's training session.

The Real Madrid midfielder will undergo comprehensive scans and medical assessments at the Valdebebas training complex to ascertain the severity of the injury.

The 21-year-old incurred the knee injury after colliding with Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembélé during a small practice match, forcing him to abandon the training session prematurely.

Madrid Xtra has revealed that Camavinga left the Clairefontaine pitch in discomfort, informing the France staff that his knee had "turned."

While the initial medical assessment provided positive indications, a subsequent evaluation later in the day presented a less optimistic outlook.

Real Madrid, already coping with the absence of French midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni due to injury, will anxiously await the results of an MRI scan scheduled for Thursday, hoping for no serious complications.
