Update:
Eduardo Camavinga played the 90 minutes of the game with France's Under-21 team against the Faroe Islands on Monday.
In the first half of the game, a strike from behind left Camavinga on the ground, rolling around in pain for about two minutes. The young Frenchman had Real Madrid fans worried that he'd been seriously hurt. He eventually got up, but was limping. He was, fortunately, not seriously injured and continued to play the game, which ended in a 1-1 tie.
