Dani Caravajal confirms he suffered ACL injury

Dani Carvajal underwent medical examinations in the early hours of Sunday following an injury he sustained the match between Real Madrid and Villarreal on Saturday. The player was involved in a challenge with Yeremi Pino from a set-piece.
The Spaniard's reaction immediately gave off the impression that the injury he suffered was serious, as he had to be escorted off the pitch with the help of the medical staff using a stretcher. It was Carvajal himself who revealed the severity of his injury.
“I can confirm it's a serious cruciate ligament injury. I’m gonna have surgery and be sidelined for a few months," he stated with a picture after having visibly cried. Nonetheless, the defender already has his sights on returning to action as soon as possible. "Already looking forward to starting recovery and coming back like a beast”. “Thank you all so much for your messages, I feel very loved," he said at the end of his Instagram post.
While there has been no official statement from Real Madrid so far, Dani Carvajal's words confirm that he will be unavailable to Carlo Ancelotti for an extended period of time. Following the victory from 'Los Blancos', Carvajal's team mates were quick to share their support. "Carvajal's injury is a blow, we're going to do everything to support him," added Valverde. Meanwhile Bellingham wished him well, and said: "‘Hopefully he can come back soon because he's key for us".
