Udaipur, April 24, 2025: ‘Hermano’ is a Spanish word. It means ‘brother’ in Bengali. In 2023, Eduardo Camavinga tweeted to David Alaba, calling him ‘brother’ and wishing him well. Now, Alaba can say the same thing to Camavinga if he wants. Camavinga can also say it to Alaba again. Because both of them are injured now!

Real Madrid Win, But At a Big Cost

Alaba and Camavinga were injured in Real Madrid's 1-0 win over Getafe last night. The bad news is that both are likely to miss the Copa del Rey final next Saturday night. The match is a high-stakes final against Barcelona, a team Real has already lost to twice this season. The injuries to Alaba and Camavinga are a major concern for Madrid.

Ancelotti Sounds Worried About Both Injuries

After the match, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti spoke about the injuries. His voice clearly showed concern. He said, "We will see what happens tomorrow (today). I think both are suffering from muscle pain. So the game on Saturday will definitely be difficult for them."

How the Injuries Happened

Alaba started the game but was taken off at halftime. The Austrian defender injured his left leg muscle. His replacement, Camavinga, came on but got injured in the 85th minute after a challenge from Getafe midfielder Luis Milla. Camavinga hurt his groin. Spanish outlet Marca reported that Camavinga didn’t want to leave the field, but had to because of the pain. Since Real had no substitutions left, they finished the match with 10 players.

Ancelotti's Dilemma: Who Will Stop Yamal?

With Alaba injured and Ferland Mendy out of form, Ancelotti is likely to rely on Fran Garcia at left-back in the El Clasico final. If Garcia plays, he will have the tough job of stopping 17-year-old Barcelona star Lamine Yamal.
