Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga will miss the remainder of the season after being diagnosed with a groin injury, the club announced on Thursday.

The French international picked up the injury during Real Madrid’s 1-0 win over Getafe in La Liga on Wednesday.

“Following tests carried out today on our player Eduardo Camavinga by the Real Madrid medical services, he has been diagnosed with a complete rupture of the left adductor tendon,” said Madrid in a statement.

According to Spanish media, Camavinga is expected to miss Saturday’s Copa del Rey final against rivals Barcelona, along with Madrid’s final five league matches as they attempt to close the gap on the Catalan leaders.

Reports also suggest Camavinga might miss the Club World Cup in the United States this summer, with estimates putting his recovery time at around three months.

The 22-year-old has struggled to find consistent form this season, despite playing a key role in Real Madrid’s La Liga and Champions League triumphs last year.
