Oct 06,V7N-Dani Carvajal, Real Madrid's veteran right-back, has confirmed that he will undergo surgery after suffering a cruciate ligament injury during the team's 2-0 victory over Villarreal in LaLiga. The 32-year-old was stretchered off in stoppage time after an awkward challenge with Villarreal's Yeremy Pino resulted in a serious sprain to his right knee. Carvajal took to Instagram to announce the severity of the injury and his upcoming surgery, stating he will be sidelined for several months.

Expressing his determination to recover, Carvajal said, "Looking forward to starting the recovery process and coming back like an animal." His absence adds to Real Madrid's injury woes, as the club is already missing key players like goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who is also out due to an abductor muscle injury.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed concern about Carvajal's situation, highlighting how the team continues to face significant setbacks due to injuries this season.
