Real Madrid is grappling with an escalating injury crisis. Two of their star players, Dani Carvajal and Vinicius, have suffered significant setbacks during the club’s recent victory over Villarreal. The La Liga giants secured a 2-0 win. However, devastating injuries that could have long-term implications for the team marred the triumph. Carvajal‘s injury is particularly severe, with reports confirming that his season is likely over. Meanwhile, Vinicius’ neck injury, although less serious, will see him miss important upcoming fixtures.
Carvajal’s heartbreaking injury
In the final moments of the win over Villarreal, right-back Dani Carvajal collapsed on the pitch. This sent shockwaves through the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. His anguished screams echoed across the field, signaling to everyone that something was terribly wrong. Despite trying to walk off the pitch, the pain was too overwhelming. The Spaniard had to be stretchered off by the medical team. The severity of the injury became clear after a series of medical tests confirmed that Carvajal had suffered a devastating cruciate ligament rupture.
Real Madrid released an official statement detailing his condition, confirming that he had sustained multiple injuries in his right leg. The club stated, “Following tests carried out on our player Dani Carvajal by Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, a rupture of the external collateral ligament, and a rupture of the popliteus tendon in his right leg. He will undergo surgery in the coming days.”
