Carvajal out for up to 10 weeks

The joy after Real Madrid's El Clasico victory was not yet complete when worry came.

Carvajal out for up to 10 weeks

The Spanish Royal team confirmed that Dani Carvajal suffered a serious injury to his right knee and will be out for 6 to 10 weeks.

According to the official announcement, the Real Madrid captain defender was diagnosed with a loose joint fragment in his right knee and will have to undergo arthroscopic surgery in the coming days. This is extremely bad news for coach Xabi Alonso, because Carvajal has just returned after a long series of months struggling with injury.

Carvajal discovered the problem after El Clasico, when he felt unusual pain and was immediately taken for a check-up. The result worried the Real coaching staff: the injury reappeared in the same right knee, where he had surgery last year and had to rest for 9 months to recover.

The new injury means that 2025 is almost over for Carvajal, as he will have to spend more time recovering and regaining his fitness. At 33, this is a heavy blow to the career of the Spanish defender - who has just been trusted by Xabi Alonso to take over the captaincy after Kroos and Modric.

Without Carvajal, Real Madrid only have Trent Alexander-Arnold as a true right-back, but the English star is not in the best shape after a muscle injury in September. In that context, Fede Valverde may have to take on the role of "firefighter" on the right wing again.

From the joy of victory over Barca, Real Madrid now faces a familiar force problem - when the full-back position once again becomes a difficult "hot spot" to solve.
