Real Madrid have announced that midfielder Dani Ceballos will be sidelined for over a month after sustaining a serious ankle injury during Sunday’s match against Real Betis.
The club’s medical report confirmed that Ceballos has suffered a grade III sprain affecting the ligaments in his right ankle.
This was Ceballos’ first start of the season, making the injury particularly untimely as it will be difficult for him to regain the trust of the coaching staff and secure playing time upon his return.
The injury also poses a challenge for Real Madrid, as their midfield depth will be tested over the coming weeks.
The team is already dealing with injuries to key players Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga.
Fortunately, the FIFA international break provides some respite, giving the team time to recover without the pressure of immediate matches.
Madrid’s coaching staff will need to carefully manage the squad’s fitness during this period, hoping to avoid further setbacks as they prepare for the return of competitive action.
