The latest Real Madrid news continues to be dominated by the club’s injury crisis and Monday’s update dealt another blow to the first-team squad.
Right-back Dani Carvajal was forced off in the first half of Sunday’s 2-0 La Liga win over Valencia and the club have now confirmed he has suffered a muscular injury in his tendon.

The Spain international’s season has been blighted by muscular injuries and he has been sidelined for a combined three months since October, when he suffered an injury to his knee ligaments.
Whilst no timeframe is given by the club from the player’s return – these are not usually disclosed by the clubs – a report in Marca estimates that Carvajal will miss at least the next two months of action.
The right-back has only played 12 matches out of a possible 31 and has a total of 917 minutes this season – 38.71 percent of the possible time, and that figure is now likely to continue to decrease.
