While Real Madrid won painfully against Villarreal (2-0) on Saturday evening, the match was mainly marked by the actions of Vinicius Jr and Dani Carvajal, who gave up their place due to injury. In the 79th minute, the Brazilian fell to the ground after contact with his shoulder and could be out for a while, while the experienced Spaniard suffered a serious collision with Yeremy Pino and burst into tears in pain, before being taken out on a stretcher.
While Dani Carvajal has already communicated on his social networks, the Merengue club confirms that“He was diagnosed with a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, a rupture of the external collateral ligament and a rupture of the popliteus tendon of the right leg. He will be operated on in the coming days.”. Concerning Vinicius Jr, the club wants to be cautious: “Following the examinations carried out on our player Vinicius Júnior, he was diagnosed with a cervical injury. Evolution in progress ».
