Dani Ceballos Out Six to Eight Weeks with Injury

Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos will be sidelined for six to eight weeks due to a grade III ankle sprain sustained during the team's recent 2-0 victory over Real Betis. This injury adds to Madrid's growing list of midfield concerns, which already includes fellow players Jude Bellingham and Eduardo Camavinga. Ceballos, who made his first start of the season in this match, also marked his 150th appearance for the club, where he has won 15 trophies since joining six seasons ago. Following medical tests, Real Madrid confirmed the severity of his injury, which is expected to further challenge their midfield depth in the upcoming matches. The club currently sits with eight points in the La Liga standings after four games, having won two, lost one, and drawn one. With the upcoming FIFA break, Madrid may benefit from some recovery time before facing tough opponents in the league.
