Real Madrid’s Carvajal to undergo surgery for cruciate ligament injury

Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal has confirmed that he ruptured his cruciate ligament during Saturday’s La Liga match against Villarreal and will undergo surgery.
The 32-year-old Carvajal suffered an unnatural right knee sprain while playing against Villarreal midfielder Eremy Pino and was carried off the pitch on a stretcher in added time.

“They have confirmed a severe cruciate ligament injury, which will require surgery and will keep me off the field for several months,” Carvajal said, posting a photo of himself inside the ambulance on Instagram.”I am looking forward to starting my recovery and coming back like a beast. Thank you all for your messages, I feel very loved,” he added. Manager Carlo Ancelotti is concerned about Carvajal’s injury and it represents another setback for a Spain team playing without goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who suffered an abductor injury in last weekend’s win over Atletico Madrid.
