Fans of Real Madrid receive a huge injury report on Camavinga.
Real Madrid’s start to the new season has been challenging, with only two wins in their first four La Liga matches and several key players sidelined due to injuries. Eduardo Camavinga was the first to be ruled out after suffering a knee injury just before the UEFA Super Cup match against Atalanta. Although initial reports indicated a two-month recovery period, recent updates suggested that his recovery was progressing well, raising hopes of an earlier return. However, according to the latest update from AS, Camavinga is now expected to be back on the pitch in early October. While there were speculations he could return by the end of September, it appears the French midfielder will need more time before he is fully fit to rejoin the squad and help Real Madrid turn their season around.

Martin Ødegaard sustains a serious injury in Norway’s Nations League win.
Norway captain Martin Ødegaard injured his ankle on Monday during a 2-1 Nations League win over Austria, just ahead of crucial fixtures for Arsenal. Ødegaard hurt his left ankle after a tough challenge with Austria’s Christoph Baumgartner, leading to his substitution two minutes later. Norway coach Stale Solbakken confirmed the injury as an ankle sprain, stating, “It looked bad in the dressing room, and he had no chance to continue.” Team doctor Ola Sand mentioned Ødegaard was doing well but might need an MRI to assess the damage. The injury raises concerns for Arsenal, as Ødegaard was set to return for a challenging week, facing Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday, followed by a Champions League opener against Atalanta in Italy and a visit to Manchester City on September 22.

Liverpool’s keeper, Kelleher set to leave Liverpool next season.
Caoimhin Kelleher, surprised some by remaining at Liverpool this summer despite a decent season that didn’t draw as much interest as expected. Nottingham Forest made a late attempt to sign him, but their low offer was rejected. Liverpool also signed Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia for £29 million, indicating their preparation for Alisson Becker’s eventual departure. Kelleher has now clarified that his future was not entirely in his hands this summer. Speaking before Ireland’s Nations League game against Greece, he said, “I’ve made it clear I want to be a No. 1 and play regularly.” He noted that Liverpool’s decision to sign another goalkeeper seems like a move in a different direction. “My ambitions have always been clear… but sometimes it’s not always my decision,” Kelleher added, hinting at his desire for more game time.
🚨 Kelleher: “I’ve made it clear in the last few years that I want to leave to be a number one”.
“Sometimes from the outside looking in, it looks like maybe that’s 100% my decision but maybe at times it's not always in my hands as well”. pic.twitter.com/5wSGUmMcPB
