Carvajal's Injury: How Is He Doing?
While Real Madrid continues to face challenges in various competitions, Dani Carvajal is progressing with his recovery after a serious injury that has kept him off the field. The defender has shared details about his health status and progress in recent days.
Real Madrid, like other top European clubs, has suffered several key injuries since the start of the season. Players like Eder Militão, Joan Martínez, David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, Eduardo Camavinga, and Carvajal have been some of the figures who have been sidelined. This list continues to grow with new injuries, such as Kylian Mbappé, who recently joined these names after a thigh injury during Real Madrid's victory against Atalanta in the Champions League.
Carvajal, who will be out for the remainder of the season due to an injury to the cruciate ligaments in his right knee, took the opportunity at a recent event to provide an update on his recovery. "The hardest part of my injury is over. I feel better every day, and I’m meeting the established timelines," said the right-back to Cadena COPE.
On October 5th, Carvajal had to leave the La Liga match against Villarreal on a stretcher after a tough injury. After undergoing surgery, his absence for the rest of the season was confirmed. This setback has been a harsh blow for the team, which has had to cope with the absence of one of their defensive pillars and vice-captain.
Despite Carvajal's absence, Real Madrid has managed to stay competitive in all competitions, albeit with ups and downs. In his place, Lucas Vázquez has stepped up to play as right-back in the matches. Carvajal, still in the recovery process, will not be available for the next La Liga match against Rayo Vallecano.
