Carvajal sustained a significant knee injury during Real Madrid’s clash with Villarreal on October 5. In the final moments of the match, a collision with Yeremy Pino resulted in a severe triple tear in his right knee.

Specifically, he suffered damage to the anterior cruciate ligament, the external collateral ligament, and the popliteal tendon. This type of injury is known to be quite serious and typically involves a lengthy recovery period.

Carvajal’s message of encouragement

A week after undergoing surgery, Carvajal took to social media to share his thoughts on the situation. He reflected on the physical pain, sleepless nights, and emotional difficulties he has encountered.

However, despite these hardships, he remains positive and thankful for the overwhelming support he has received from friends, family, and the Real Madrid community.

“It’s already been a week since the surgery, with painful moments, long nights and feelings that are hard to manage.

“But at the same time, I’ve felt so strong and loved by all around me, they make this process more gentle. 1 week down,” he wrote on his social media channel.

Although Carvajal has a long road to recovery, his determination to return to the field stronger than ever is clear. The medical team will work closely with him to ensure he recovers fully and can be ready to play by the start of the 2025/2026 season.

Until then, the Real Madrid faithful will eagerly await his return, confident in his ability to overcome this setback and continue contributing to the team’s success.

With such an injury, it is vital that Carvajal takes the necessary time to heal properly, as rushing back could risk further complications.
