Dani carvajal

Real Madrid Medical Services: Real Madrid's 2-1 win over FC Barcelona has come at a price with the La Liga club confirming that defender Dani Carvajal has suffered a knee injury.

The injury is likely to sideline the defender until the start of 2026 as the recovery process is expected to take around two months.

"Following tests carried out on our captain Dani Carvajal by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with the presence of a loose body in his right knee joint," reported the Real Madrid official website, adding the defender would "now undergo an arthroscopy surgery."
