How much compensation Real Madrid will earn from Vinicius Junior & Eduardo Camavinga injuries

The Spanish media have begun referring to it as the "FIFA virus".

La Liga has been hit hard by the injury bug during November's injury break, but few clubs have had it as hard as Real Madrid who, through no fault of their own, now have to do without two key starters for the foreseeable future.

Eduardo Camavinga damaged his knee in France training and is expected to face between eight and ten weeks on the sidelines, and just as Madrid were getting to grips with that news, they were hit with the hammerblow that Vinicius Junior had torn his thigh muscle.

The Brazilian forward is facing around ten weeks on the sidelines and will now join Camavinga and fellow injured star Aurelien Tchouameni on the treatment table until 2024.

As both Vinicius and Camavinga were injured on international duty, Madrid are entitled to compensation from FIFA, who pay out to clubs who lose players for longer than 28 days because of their involvement with their countries.

Madrid's first 28 days without Camavinga - until December 12 - and the same period without Vinicius - until December 14 - are not covered by FIFA's Club Protection Programme, but Madrid can then start claiming for each day they are without their stricken stars.

Madrid will be able to claim €20,548 (£18,008) per day for a maximum of 365 days, with FIFA's compensation cutting out at €7.5m (£6.57m) for each player.

For Camavinga, an eight-week absence would see Madrid recover €575,344, but ten weeks on the sidelines would see that figure rise to €863,016 - the same amount Vinicius' injury is expected to generate.

Madrid stand to make around €1.5m (£1.3m) from these two injuries, but they will put that money towards the wages due to both Camavinga and Vinicius while they are out of action.
