Real Madrid star set to make national team World Cup squad despite poor season

In a season that saw almost Real Madrid players struggle to find any real consistency, Eduardo Camavinga emerged as the biggest scapegoat.

If his injuries and lack of consistency weren’t already an issue, Camavinga’s controversial and infamous red card against Bayern Munich was the final nail in the coffin.

The sending-off led to mass criticism against the Frenchman, to a point where he lost all his confidence, with many expecting him to leave the club this summer.

Camavinga’s decline has also led to widespread rumours that he might not make it into the French team for the upcoming FIFA World Cup.

Big surprise in France squad

This is a major surprise considering the fact that France has no shortage of options in the middle of the park, boasting star talents including his teammate Aurelien Tchouameni.
