CD Leganés is preparing for a difficult showdown with Real Madrid in the 29th round of La
Liga, which will take place on Saturday, March 29. However, before an important match, the
team faced personnel problems, one of the main ones was the uncertainty surrounding the
participation of midfielder Yvan Neyou.

What Happened to Neyu?
On March 16, during a match against Real Betis, the Cameroonian midfielder was forced to
leave the field in the 75th minute due to quadriceps femoral muscle damage. Despite the
discomfort, Neyu traveled to join the Cameroon national team for the 2026 World Cup
qualifiers. However, he did not appear in the matches against Eswatini (March 19) or Libya
(March 25), raising further doubts about his condition.

There is conflicting information about the severity of Neyu’s injury. While some sources
claim serious damage, others report only mild discomfort. As of now, neither CD Leganés nor
the Cameroon Football Federation have issued an official statement regarding his condition.
