Real Madrid have officially confirmed that Franco Mastantuono has suffered from pubalgia and will be out of action for the foreseeable future. The Argentine teenager, who has impressed with his maturity and skill since breaking into the first team, now faces a spell on the sidelines as he works toward full recovery, Softfootball reports.
The update comes shortly after Mastantuono’s good performance over the weekend, where he featured for the entire 90 minutes in Real Madrid’s dominant 4-0 win over Valencia at the Santiago Bernabéu. His energy and flair on the wings have been a breath of fresh air for Los Blancos this season, earning him praise from fans and pundits alike.
According to a medical report statement shared via the official Real Madrid X handle, the club confirmed the player’s injury and assured supporters that medical staff are monitoring his situation closely. They posted;
This setback comes at a time when the 18-year-old was beginning to cement his place in the squad under Xabi Alonso, who has shown immense faith in the rising star. Earlier, Softfootball reported that Alonso backed Mastantuono to succeed at Real Madrid despite the early pressure surrounding his performances.
Alonso’s belief in the young winger remains steadfast, and sources close to the club suggest that the manager views him as a long-term asset for the team’s attacking future.
Real Madrid will now have to make do without Mastantuono’s influence as it stands as they continue their campaign across all competitions, hoping for a quick and full recovery for the promising youngster.
