Pedri sends message of support to Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal after he suffers ACL injury | OneFootball

FC Barcelona are set to face their fiercest rivals, Real Madrid, at the end of this month. As is usually the case, this game can have important implications for the La Liga title, as these are the two teams that mostly compete for this trophy.

For this match, both teams will be far from their best. The Blaugranes will be missing several of their important players, including the likes of Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen, Marc Bernal, and Marc Andre Ter Stegen.

However, the Blaugranes could benefit from a triple injury boost, as several players—including Dani Olmo, Fermin Lopez, and Gavi—are expected to receive medical clearance ahead of this crucial clash.

On the other hand, Carlo Ancelotti will also have a weakened team for this upcoming clash, especially as he lost Dani Carvajal to a long-term injury on Saturday night against Villarreal.

The Spanish defender suffered torn ligaments and a tendon in his right leg after a collision with Villarreal’s Yeremy Pino while contesting the ball. As a result, he is expected to miss the remainder of the season due to this serious knee injury.

Undoubtedly, this is a devastating blow for the Spanish fullback, who has been receiving messages of support from around the world. As Mundo Deportivo has reported, the 21-year-old Barcelona midfield gem Pedri also sent the Real Madrid captain messages of support in this difficult time.

Pedri shared a picture of himself and Carvajal, both in Spanish national team jerseys, with the following message: “Stay strong, brother! I’m sure we’ll soon be crying together with joy again.”

Pedri and Carvajal often share the dressing room while representing Spain, and the young midfielder will also feel the absence of the experienced fullback in the upcoming international break, as Carvajal was named in Luis de la Fuente’s squad.
