La Liga News, Transfers, Match Reports & Updates – Football Espana
Real Madrid will be aiming to maintain their lead at the top of La Liga going into the Christmas break, in the next ‘section’ of the season as Xabi Alonso put it in September. Their hopes of doing so were certainly damaged by the prospect of injuries for Kylian Mbappe and Eduardo Camavinga, who were sent home from France duty on Friday.
Mbappe played the entire match on Thursday against Ukraine in a 4-0 victory, in which Mbappe scored a brace and gave an assist. Camavinga has been out of action all week though training alone, as he deals with a muscle injury. Both were sent home on Friday though, with Mbappe struggling with inflammation in his ankle.
