Real Madrid Confirms Carreras Injury, Rules Him Out Against Manchester City
Spanish club Real Madrid announced that player Carreras has been diagnosed with a muscle tear in his right calf, as confirmed by the club's medical report issued on March 9, 2026. This injury resulted from a strong blow to his leg during the team's last match against Getafe, officially ruling him out of the squad set to face English side Manchester City in the upcoming fixture.
The medical staff at the Royal club stated that precise examinations revealed "una lesión muscular en el gemelo de la pierna derecha" (a muscle injury in the calf of the right leg), adding the player to the injury list ahead of the anticipated summit clash. Meanwhile, doubts persist regarding the readiness of forward Kylian Mbappé, who has not participated in group training, opting instead for continuous running under the supervision of fitness coach Sebastian Devillaz. This places him outside the initial expectations for Wednesday's encounter against Pep Guardiola's team.
Real Madrid has, however, regained the services of defender Antonio Rüdiger, who has returned to group training and is ready for the match. Eduardo Camavinga also rejoined morning sessions after his recent absence due to dental pain. The squad continues its intensive technical preparations to manage these physical changes, as the club strives to prepare all available elements for the upcoming continental confrontation.
