In one of the most unusual "injuries" of the season, Eduardo Camavinga is officially out of tonight’s clash against Getafe (Monday, March 2, 2026).
While Real Madrid fans may have panicked seeing his name missing from the squad list, the reason is far less serious than a hamstring tear or an ankle sprain.
The French midfielder has been sidelined by a severe toothache that required emergency dental surgery on Sunday.
The "Dental" Blow: Why He’s Missing
The Cause: Camavinga began experiencing intense pain during the weekend, which prevented him from training on Sunday morning. After consulting with the club's medical staff, he was sent for immediate treatment to resolve the issue.
No Long-Term Worry: The club has confirmed that there is no muscular or skeletal injury. This is purely a recovery from a minor medical procedure.
Selection Impact: His absence is a headache for manager Alvaro Arbeloa, as Camavinga has been an undisputed starter in Arbeloa’s 4-4-2 system, starting the last six consecutive matches.
The Verdict: While it’s a minor issue, the timing isn't great. Real Madrid are in a relentless title race with Barcelona, and every missed starter adds pressure.
However, Camavinga is expected to return to full training by Wednesday and should be fit for the trip to Celta Vigo this Friday.
