🎙️ Carvajal opens up about his injury and hints at a return date | OneFootball

Dani Carvajal has spoken about his latest knee injury and the timeline he has in mind for returning to competition on the microphones of El Chiringuito.

"Patience. I’ll come back when I feel good, but the estimate is to be back by Christmas and start 2026 with guarantees," explained the Real Madrid full-back.

While signing autographs, Carvajal admitted to the reporter that he was surprised by the injury after El Clásico. "It was a surprise because it was just a bit swollen, and when I had a routine MRI, they told me I had to go back into surgery."

The full-back admits it was "a tough blow" that he now has to recover from. "Things happen like this and since you can’t control it, you can’t beat yourself up. Do everything possible to come back, and that’s it."

The Madrid player will almost certainly miss the following run of matches: Valencia, Liverpool, Rayo Vallecano, Elche, Olympiacos, Girona, Celta de Vigo, Manchester City, Alaves, and Sevilla.
