France midfielder with Congolese and Angolan roots, Eduardo Camavinga, is set to reclaim his preferred defensive midfield role at Real Madrid.
This season, the versatile midfielder has played in many positions, including a left-back role.
According to Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti, Eduardo Camavinga will be back in midfield following the unavailability of midfielder Dani Ceballos.
“People forget that Camavinga played in a Champions League final and he’s perfectly capable of playing in defensive midfield.
“Kroos and Camavinga played as a double pivot. He’s ready and has the quality to step in,” the Real Madrid manager said.
He continued, “The same goes for Modrić, Valverde and Tchouameni.
“It’s a shame because Ceballos was really contributing to the team. But we’ll replace him, as we always do.”
Real Madrid will take on Real Betis this weekend in the Spanish La Liga.
Eduardo Camavinga may be handed his preferred midfield role in that game.
