Real Madrid have suffered an injury setback on the eve of the new season with the news French international midfielder Eduardo Camavinga will be out of action for up to two months after twisting his internal ligament in his left knee.

Camavinga suffered the injury in a collision with his international teammate Aurelian Tchouameni during Tuesday's training session ahead of Wednesday's European Supercup final against Atalanta.

The club carried out tests on Wednesday and published the results on their official website, saying the midfielder's recovery "will be monitored," without giving a date for his possible return.

However, injuries of the kind Camavinga has suffered usually needed a minimum of six weeks recovery time and usually take up to six months for a player to return to action.

That means he will miss nine or 10 La Liga games and also the start of Real Madrid's campaign in the group stage of the Champions League and that is a significant loss, given that the club have not signed a midfielder this summer to replace the retired Toni Kroos.

Real Madrid have also announced that forward, Jamie Latasa has signed for recently promoted Valladolid after spending the past two seasons on loan with Getafe.
