Gruesome footage emerges of Eduardo Camavinga crying for help on the floor after the Real Madrid star sustained a knee injury that will keep him out of action for SEVEN weeks

New footage has surfaced showing the injury Eduardo Camavinga sustained just a day before Real Madrid's Super Cup match on Wednesday evening.

The 21-year-old's injury happened during a training session on Tuesday at Warsaw's National Stadium where their Super Cup game against Italian side Atalanta took place.

The club confirmed shortly after the incident that the French midfielder would miss the start of the 2024-2025 season after suffering a knee injury during their team training session. 

It is believed Camavinga, who featured in four games for France at Euro 2024, will be out of action for up to seven weeks, with Real's LaLiga title defence beginning on Sunday at Mallorca. 

A video clip of the incident has surfaced on social media, showing Aurelien Tchouameni clatter into Camavinga as they challenged for the ball in the middle of the pitch.

Camavinga was heard screaming in pain after Tchouameni accidentally stepped on his foot during a small-sided game, causing the 21-year-old to fall and twist his knee.

Despite the severity of the incident, Camavinga was able to walk off the pitch with the assistance of Real Madrid's medical staff. 

His teammates resumed their training session as the French international was attended to, bringing a sense of relief that the injury, while painful, did not require immediate evacuation from the field. 

Nevertheless, Camavinga has been ruled out for six-seven weeks - missing Real Madrid's opening game of the LaLiga season this weekend. 

Shortly after the training session on Wednesday, Real Madrid shared the following statement: 'After the tests carried out today, our player Eduardo Camavinga has been diagnosed with a sprain of the internal collateral ligament in his left knee.'

While, Camavinga wrote: 'Deeply disappointed to pick up this injury and miss the start of the season. I will work hard to be back soon. Thank you for all the messages of support over the last few hours and also want to wish the team well for the game tonight!'.

Thankfully, Real Madrid managed to get the job done without Camavinga - beating Italian side Atalanta 2-0 in Warsaw to clinch the UEFA Super Cup.

Kylian Mbappe, who completed a free transfer to Real in June after his contract at Paris St Germain expired, lashed home from Jude Bellingham's pass after Federico Valverde had given the Spanish champions a second-half lead.

Real beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the Champions League final in June and victory over Europa League winners Atalanta at the Narodowy Stadium secured a record sixth Super Cup success.

Atalanta edged a goalless first period in which both sides hit the woodwork.

Real defender Eder Militao's attempted headed clearance from Marten de Roon's cross looped on to the crossbar, while Brazil forward Rodrygo struck the bar with a shot from inside the penalty area.

Mario Pasalic's second-half header for Atalanta was superbly saved by Thibaut Courtois.

Real broke the deadlock in the 59th minute when Vinicius Junior brilliantly set up Valverde for a simple finish by picking him out from the by-line.

Atalanta goalkeeper Juan Musso denied the Brazil forward a second and thwarted Bellingham soon after as Real took control.

Mbappe made it 2-0 in the 69th minute after being teed up by Bellingham and Real comfortably saw the game out.
