Zinédine Zidane relies on Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga in France squad despite limited playing time

Zinedine Zidane relies on Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga in France squad despite limited playing time. The 23-year-old Camavinga was included in the France squad for September without any guarantees. He was not chosen by Didier Deschamps for the 2022 World Cup and had rumors of a transfer away from Real Madrid swirling after a turbulent transfer window.

The midfielder now aims to secure a long-term spot in the group.

Since José Mourinho took charge of Real Madrid, he has only started two matches (240 minutes) this season. As Camavinga turns 24, he must prove his worth and showcase the qualities that made him a star.
