Real Madrid has confirmed that defender Dani Carvajal underwent successful surgery on his right knee on Friday. The surgery comes after Carvajal suffered a serious injury during a La Liga match against Villarreal last weekend, an injury that is likely to end his season prematurely.
The 32-year-old right-back was diagnosed with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a ruptured external collateral ligament, and a ruptured popliteus tendon in his right leg. Despite the severity of the injury, Carvajal’s club, Real Madrid, has confirmed that the surgery was a success. The club has also announced that Carvajal will begin his recovery process in the coming days.
Carvajal’s injury is a significant blow to Real Madrid, as he has been a key player for the club for many years. He also played a vital role in Spain’s victory at the European Championship in July.
The news of Carvajal’s surgery comes shortly after Real Madrid confirmed that they have agreed to extend the defender’s contract until June 2026. The club’s decision to extend Carvajal’s contract, despite his injury, is a testament to their belief in the player’s abilities.
It remains to be seen how long Carvajal’s recovery process will take, but the club is confident that he will return to full fitness in due time.
While Carvajal focuses on his recovery, Real Madrid will be hoping that the rest of their squad can stay healthy and continue their strong start to the season.
