serious cruciate ligament injury and farewell to the season
The screams on the pitch, the faces of his teammates and Ancelotti’s comments at the press conference made it clear that Dani Carvajal’s injury looked very ugly. And it was own player who was responsible for confirming this early this Sunday morning, before any official communication from Real Madrid.
“This confirms serious cruciate ligament injury“I will have to undergo surgery and be off the playing field for a few months,” the defender wrote on his Instagram account, accompanied by a photo of him looking very shaken inside the ambulance itself.
Thus, the fatal incident with Jeremi Pinault at the end of the match against Villarreal will leave Real Madrid without the best right-back in the world for the rest of the season. Once the final medical opinion is known and possible meniscal or collateral ligament damage is known, as well as a suspected anterior cruciate ligament tear, an estimated sick leave time can be determined that it will be about a year away from the playing fields, as was the case with his teammates Courtois or Militao, or Rodri’s recent injury.
As expected, knowing his courage, Carvajal made it clear that he planned to do everything on his part to come back as best as possible. “I’m already looking forward to starting my recovery and coming back like a beast.”

Carvajal left the field on a stretcher and was immediately taken to hospital to have his right knee examined. Ancelotti did not want to specify at the press conference what type of injury he would suffer, but he did. he guessed it didn’t look good at all. “It looks like it’s a pretty serious knee injury, but they’ll have to assess the situation in the next few hours,” the Whites coach said.
