This dilemma presents a challenge as Carlo Ancelotti aims to secure the first title of the season. Camavinga was slated to take the left-back position to blunt Yamal's attacking drives, a plan that fell apart during the match against Getafe. In that encounter, David Alaba also left the pitch with an injury.
The French midfielder exited in the 85th minute, visibly in pain, and subsequent medical evaluations confirmed the team's worst fears: a complete rupture of the left adductor tendon. Consequently, Camavinga will be sidelined for two to three months, missing not only the remainder of the season but also the Club World Cup. Now, Ancelotti must decide who will fill that crucial left side in this significant clash.
One of the potential replacements is Ferland Mendy. The other option is Fran Garcia, who would step in fully fit.
