A series of unfortunate injuries has disrupted Camavinga’s rhythm this season. However, even when fully fit, he has struggled to nail down a place in the starting XI. His versatility has become something of a hindrance as he continues to be shifted between holding midfield, false winger and even left-back.
The 23-year-old has made 34 appearances this term, but he often finds himself on the bench when the biggest games arrive. Under the leadership of Alvaro Arbeloa, who took charge following the dismissal of Xabi Alonso in January, the preferred midfield axis has frequently featured Thiago Pitarch and Aurelien Tchouameni. This secondary role has reportedly left the former Rennes prodigy feeling dissatisfied with his current status in the squad.
