Camavinga ruled out of Getafe clash after emergency dental visit

Real Madrid face a last-minute setback ahead of their La Liga meeting with Getafe after Eduardo Camavinga was ruled out because of an emergency dental problem. The midfielder visited a dentist urgently on Saturday and was confirmed absent from the squad on Monday morning, forcing a late tactical change at Valdebebas.

Initial hopes that he could play through the pain or recover quickly proved misplaced, and Camavinga did not appear on the official match list. Losing one of Madrid's most versatile midfielders increases pressure on Alvaro Arbeloa as his side chase league leaders Barcelona, and comes amid a stretched treatment room described as "nebulous." The absence opens a chance for Brahim Diaz or academy prospect Cestero to step into the midfield.

Arbeloa has been giving Brahim more minutes in a role similar to Jude Bellingham, while the manager has shown interest in integrating youth such as Thiago Pitarch, who featured in recent wins against Benfica alongside Cesar Palacios. With the squad announced, the coach must adapt quickly.
