Franco Mastantuono’s unexpected omission from Real Madrid’s starting lineup has swiftly become one of the club’s most talked-about subjects.
The 18-year-old Argentine, who arrived from River Plate this summer with high expectations, has seen his progress abruptly halted.
Despite a promising start to life in Spain, his current record of one goal and one assist raises concerns about his assimilation and physical fitness.
What is happening to Mastantuono?
According to AS, the cause for his disappearance has been his struggle with pubalgia since the beginning of the month.
The disease, which is frequently connected to overuse and muscle imbalance, has kept him sidelined, with no set comeback date.

“Nobody dares to give a timeframe, not even the club,” the report states. This is because the problem is not simple.
As a result, his return will be determined by how the player feels over the next few days. He is currently training on the pitch, but the club believes he will be able to return during the international break.
Real Madrid want to gradually transition his return and avoid rushing into anything.
Alonso trusts Mastantuono.
Before the accident, Mastantuono had already gained the trust of manager Xabi Alonso, who saw the youngster’s intellect and adaptability.
He got along well with the coach right on and made nine starts in 12 matches.
This made him the squad’s tenth most-used player. While his numbers have not yet exploded, both the player and the club see this as a normal aspect of his development.
There is no sense of panic at the club. The focus is still on his physical recuperation and long-term fitness.
