Madrid, October 7 (HS). Real Madrid star right-back Dani Carvajal suffered a knee injury during Madrid's last match in La Liga against Villarreal. The Spaniard has been leading the Los Blancos back line for many years and his injury would be a blow to the Spanish club. Against Villarreal, Real Madrid won 2–0 and gained three important points.
Earlier on Sunday, Real Madrid released a statement saying that Carvajal had suffered a ruptured popliteus tendon in his right foot and was scheduled to undergo surgery in the coming days.
“Following tests carried out on Dani Carvajal by the Real Madrid Medical Services, the player has been diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, a torn external collateral ligament and a torn popliteus tendon in his right leg,” Real Madrid said. He will undergo surgery in the coming days.”
After the end of the match against Villarreal, Los Blancos head coach Carlo Ancelotti said that Carvajal's injury would affect the entire team.
“When something like this happens to a player like Danny, who is always motivated, it affects all the players and the entire team,” he was quoted as saying by Real Madrid's official website. We have to answer. “Last year we responded very well to our injuries and this year we have to do more to ensure that injuries become a source of motivation for the rest of the team, like it did last year.”
Carvajal has won 26 trophies in 427 games with Real Madrid, including the Champions League (6), Club World Cup (5), UEFA Super Cup (5), La Liga title (4), Copa del Rey (2) and Includes Spanish Super Cup (4). Carvajal is one of five players to have won 6 European Cups. He was named player of the match in the Champions League final at Wembley on 1 June, when Real Madrid won their 15th European Cup. In their upcoming match, Real Madrid will take on Celta Vigo in La Liga on October 20.
