Real Madrid Confirms Franco Mastantuono Sidelined with Pubalgia Ahead of Liverpool Clash

Real Madrid faces a setback as Franco Mastantuono, the promising young talent, was absent from training ahead of their crucial UEFA Champions League match against Liverpool. The 18-year-old forward trained separately at Valdebebas due to a diagnosis of pubalgia, a groin-related injury confirmed by the club’s medical team. His recovery will be closely monitored, and his availability for the upcoming match remains uncertain.

Mastantuono has featured in 12 games across all competitions this season, contributing one goal and one assist. However, his involvement in the squad has been inconsistent recently, coinciding with the return of key players such as Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga, which has affected his playing time and form. The injury adds another challenge for Real Madrid as they prepare for a high-stakes game at Anfield.

In addition to Mastantuono’s absence, manager Xabi Alonso could not rely on defenders Dani Carvajal, Antonio Rudiger, and David Alaba during training, as they continue to recover from their respective injuries. Despite these setbacks, the team is set to travel to Liverpool, with Alonso planning to address the media directly upon arrival in England.

The timing of Mastantuono’s pubalgia is particularly disappointing for Real Madrid, as the young forward has been a regular contributor since joining from River Plate in the summer. The club and coaching staff must now balance his recovery while maintaining squad readiness for a critical Champions League fixture.
