Real Madrid's 2-0 victory over Betis at the Santiago Bernabéu came with a significant setback as midfielder Dani Ceballos sustained an injury during the match. The Utrera native was seen repeatedly clutching his right ankle before leaving the field, though he was able to walk off on his own.

Following examinations by the Real Madrid Medical Services, it has been confirmed that Ceballos has suffered a grade III sprain, affecting the ligaments in his right ankle. The estimated recovery time for such an injury is between six and eight weeks, with the exact timeline depending on his progress.

This injury adds to the growing list of setbacks for the team, which has already been dealing with the absence of two other key midfielders this season. The situation has turned into a "curse" for Real Madrid's midfield, as the club now faces the challenge of managing without yet another crucial player in that position for the foreseeable future.
