MADRID — Real Madrid is facing a setback as midfielder Dani Ceballos is anticipated to be away from the field for several weeks due to an injury he sustained during the Copa del Rey semifinals this past Wednesday.
In a statement released by the club on Thursday, it was revealed that Ceballos underwent a series of medical examinations that identified a muscle and tendon injury to his left hamstring. The details of the injury underscore the challenges ahead for both the player and the team.
Real Madrid has yet to specify exactly how long the recovery might take, indicating that Ceballos’ rehabilitation will be closely monitored over the coming weeks. Reports from the Spanish media have suggested that the 28-year-old midfielder could be sidelined for as long as two months as a consequence of this injury.
Ceballos, who has played a pivotal role for Madrid under coach Carlo Ancelotti in recent matches, suffered this unfortunate injury during the closing moments of Real Madrid’s narrow 1-0 victory against Real Sociedad. His absence will likely pose a considerable challenge to the lineup in the weeks to come.
