Ceballos, goes down at the key moment by muscle injury

“After the tests carried out today to our player Dani Ceballos for the medical services of Real Madrid, an injury in the semi -manufacturer muscle has been diagnosed with the affectation of the tendon of the left leg,” the white club said on its website.

Although Real Madrid advanced that his return is “pending evolution”, the one of Utrera could be low, losing, at least, Laliga’s meetings against Real Betis, this Saturday at Benito Villamarín, Rayo Vallecano, at home, and Villarreal, as a visitor, in addition to the imminent elimination of the round of Champions in front of Atlétic Santiago Bernabéu.

The midfielder suffered a blow with Take Kubo in the last minutes of the Semifinal Ida Meeting of the Copa del Rey against Real Sociedad at Reale Arena. Ceballos came out in tears and without the possibility of being replaced, since the Madrid club coach, Carlo Ancelotti, had exhausted the five changes.

The Italian coach loses the player who until now had taken the rudder of the Madrid game, and will have to find a solution that points to the Croatian Luka Modric, who will increase his presence in the titular lineups, while the rest of the midfielders – Aurélien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga and Fede Valverde – are also healthy.

“Very sad to have to stop at my best”

“Very sad for not being able to help my team in this important section of the season. And very sad for having to stop in which I felt it was my best moment,” wrote the 28 -year -old footballer, on his social networks after communication by the club of the reach of the injury.

Ceballos was already a fixed for Ancelotti, and accumulated at this point a total of 31 participations -16 titles-, but an injury forces him to stop at a key moment of the season. “Football is like that, it is not always easy, much less fair. So it is time to face it with strength, wanting to fight and with the certainty that I will return even stronger,” he said.

“This is not over. I have left worse. Thank you for so much love. See you soon, before what you think,” the midfielder concluded his message posted on the social network ‘X’.
