MADRID, March 27 (Xinhua) -- Real Madrid face a possible injury setback ahead of Sunday's La Liga game at home to Athletic Bilbao and their forthcoming Champions League quarterfinal with Manchester City when midfielder Eduardo Camavinga had to limp out of France's 3-2 win against Chile on Tuesday with an ankle injury.

Camavinga went over on his ankle in the 63rd minute of the match and had to be helped off the field, and early assessments don't offer much room for optimism.

"Our doctors are in contract with him and with the doctors of the French national team," explained Real Madrid sources in Spanish sports paper, Diario AS.

"It looks like he has twisted his left ankle, but we won't know how long he will be out of action until we carry out tests," continued the club.

Real Madrid entertain Man City on April 9th, with the return leg in the Ethiad Stadium a week later.
