Real Madrid Captain Carvajal Sidelined with Calf Injury
Carvajal's four-week absence leaves Real Madrid short of right backs for key La Liga and Champions League matches, including El Clasico and games against Juventus, Villarreal, and Kairat Almaty.
- On Sunday, Real Madrid Medical Services diagnosed Dani Carvajal with a soleus muscle injury to his right leg, and Spanish media reported he will be sidelined for at least four weeks.
- During Saturday's Madrid derby, Dani Carvajal picked up the problem and was forced off after about an hour in the 5-2 defeat to Atlético Madrid.
- Key fixtures affected include matches against Kairat Almaty on Sept. 30, Villarreal on Oct. 4, Juventus, Getafe, and Barcelona on Oct. 26, Spanish media reported.
- With both first-choice right-backs sidelined, Xabi Alonso may call on Raul Asencio or Fede Valverde while Antonio Rüdiger's absence and Éder Militão's concerns limit defensive options.
- Having returned in July after nine months out, Dani Carvajal faces a four to five weeks layoff, The Athletic and journalist Arancha Rodriguez say, affecting Spain's World Cup qualifiers.
