New tile for Real Madrid. Dani Carvajal was forced to leave the squad after a right foot injury was confirmed. Medical examinations revealed a crack in the distal phalanx of the fifth toe, as indicated in the Madrid club’s press release. An absence estimated at around two weeks is mentioned internally, which will notably deprive him of several important meetings in La Liga against Espanyol, FC Barcelona and Oviedo, with a possible extension of his unavailability until the trip to Seville according to A.S..
In this context, the Spanish full-back once again sees his season disrupted by physical problems, he who has only played limited playing time this year (885 minutes). This injury also comes at a pivotal moment, when his future in Madrid remains uncertain, his contract expiring without an extension recorded for the moment. Sportingly, this setback also seriously compromises his chances of applying for a place for the next World Cup with Spain, especially since his playing time under Arbeloa had already not worked in his favor in recent months.
