Dani Carvajal cries in pain. The Real Madrid winger suffers a serious knee injury. The European champion himself confirms his coach’s fears.
Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal will be out for months with a serious knee injury. The 32-year-old himself confirmed this on the social network Instagram. The European champion posted a photo of himself, apparently from an ambulance, and wrote that he had suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury and needed surgery.
The winger was injured in the final phase of Royal’s 2-0 (1-0) win on Saturday evening in the top game of the Spanish football championship against third-placed FC Villarreal. His coach Carlo Ancelotti feared a “very serious knee injury” immediately afterwards. This was something that happened very often “because of the calendar” and that affected a “very important” player in his squad, the Italian said, probably referring to the large number of games for the top club.
Carvajal collided with his opponent during a duel in the final stages of the game. The Spanish international was still able to clear the ball. But then he collapsed with loud cries of pain, holding his right knee. The 32-year-old was brought off the pitch on a stretcher in tears.
“Carvajal is a key player for us because of his experience and his attitude,” said Ancelotti about the Real professional, who has been playing for Los Blancos’ professional team since the 2013/14 season. The outside player was nominated by national coach Luis de la Fuentes for the Nations League games against Denmark (October 12) and Serbia (October 15). Real will play in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund on October 22nd.
