On Saturday evening, Real Madrid won painfully against Villarreal (2-0) and did the hardest part by coming back to face FC Barcelona, who will play this Sunday against Alavés. But the victory quickly took a back seat as Vinicius Jr and Dani Carvajal gave up their places due to injury. In the 79th minute, the Brazilian fell to the ground after contact with his shoulder and could be out for a while, while the experienced Spaniard suffered a serious collision with Yeremy Pino and burst into tears in pain, before leaving with an injury.
“It seems to be a pretty serious knee injury, the locker room is sad and worried. It’s something that happens often in the calendar and it happened to a very important player for us. He is a fundamental player for us, in terms of experience, seriousness… I spoke to him and he is sad, but there is not much that can be done”indicated Carlo Ancelotti about his right side, who feared the worst during his press conference.
Dani Carvajal comes out of silence, Vinicius Jr worried
During the night from Saturday to Sunday, the 32-year-old Spaniard spoke on social networks and confirmed the feared trend: “a serious cruciate ligament injury has been confirmed, I will have to undergo surgery and be out of action for a few months. I can’t wait to start my recovery and come back like a beast. Thank you all for your messages, I feel very loved”indicated the defender, confirming a very long absence.

In addition to Carvajal, Real Madrid is also holding its breath for Vinicius Jr, who will be tested during the day and would suffer from an injury to the acromioclavicular joint of the left shoulder and the cartilage could be affected, according to the latest information from the local press. “Vinicius is blocked due to a cervical problem.
