Real Madrid announced this Monday morning that it has a new loss, Dani Carvajal, who was injured in Saturday's match against Granada. The medical tests carried out have confirmed that the Leganés full-back suffers an injury to the left soleus that will keep him off the field for a month, according to what the white club reported in a medical report. Carvajal will miss the matches against Betis, Union Berlin, Villarreal, Alavés, Mallorca and the January Cup match. The club's objective is to recover it for the semifinal of the Spanish Super Cup that will be played in Arabia against Atlético de Madrid on January 10.
In addition to Carvajal, Madrid has six other players in the infirmary: Courtois (tear of the anterior cruciate of the left knee, with involvement of the meniscus), Militao (tear of the anterior cruciate of the right knee, without involvement of the meniscus), Camavinga (rupture of the external lateral ligament of the right knee), Tchouaméni (incomplete stress fracture in the second metatarsal of the left foot), Güler (muscle tear in the right quadriceps) and Vinícius (break in the left femoral biceps, with involvement of the distal tendon).
The only good news for the whites is the recoveries of Kepa, who was already on the bench against Granada and who, according to Carlo Ancelotti, is expected to play at Villamarín on Saturday and Luka Modric, who will return to training this week now. recovered from an overload in the left ischium that has caused him to miss two games.
This is Carvajal's second injury this season, in which he had already suffered a muscle injury that caused him to miss the games against Union Berlin and the Metropolitano derby against Atlético. The full-back had barely been able to play thirteen full games in the 2020-21 and 2021-22 campaigns, then heavily hampered by injuries. Since then he had changed his diet and had regained his best shape. Madrid will return to training tomorrow, Tuesday at 3 p.m.
