Superstar Kylian Mbappé Stuns Real Madrid After Guiding PSG to Victory Over Barcelona
Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal will undergo knee surgery after medical tests revealed a dislocated joint in his right knee. The 31-year-old defender's injury comes at a crucial time for the Spanish giants, who rely heavily on his experience and leadership at the back.
The club announced that Carvajal will have arthroscopic surgery to treat the knee injury. This type of procedure uses a small camera and instruments inserted through tiny incisions, which typically means faster recovery times compared to open surgery.
But here's the problem - Real Madrid hasn't said how long Carvajal will be out. Knee injuries can be tricky, and recovery times vary widely depending on the severity and how well the surgery goes.
For Real Madrid, losing their captain creates both tactical and leadership challenges. Carvajal has been a key player for over a decade, and at 31, he brings experience that's hard to replace. The club will likely turn to younger players or shift their defensive setup while he recovers.
The timing adds pressure on manager Carlo Ancelotti, who now needs to restructure his defense during a busy period of the season. How quickly the team adapts could affect their performance in both domestic and European competitions.
Real Madrid fans will be watching closely for updates on the surgery results and any hints about when their captain might return to action.
