Given the images and the pain felt by Dani Carvajal, there were unfortunately few doubts. The tears of the Merengue right side on the stretcher which carried him off the field, Saturday evening against Villarreal, after the clear twisting of his right knee in a seemingly innocuous duel, did not bode well. The dreaded verdict did indeed fall this Sunday morning.
“ Following the examinations carried out on our player Dani Carvajal by the Real Madrid medical service, 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. », This is the news communicated by the White House the day after the disaster.
“The whole team affected” according to Ancelotti
Dani Carvajal himself did not hide the seriousness of his condition, as soon as he decided on his fate. “ A serious cruciate ligament injury has been confirmed, I will have to undergo surgery and be out of action for a few months. I can’t wait to start my recovery and come back like a beast “, he shared on social networks.
Of course, such an injury most certainly means the end of the season for the Spain international. Hoping for the rebound planned by the person concerned who next January will celebrate his 33rd birthday. “
When something like this happens to a player like Dani, who is always motivated, it affects all the players and the whole team », whispered Real coach Carlo Ancelotti on Saturday evening. More than a personal mishap, certainly an upheaval for the entire Merengue collective.
