MADRID, Oct 06 (AFP): Spanish defender Dani Carvajal is facing several months on the sidelines, Real Madrid confirmed Sunday, saying he needed surgery after a serious knee injury during a La Liga match against Villarreal.
"He has been diagnosed with a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, a rupture of the external collateral ligament and a rupture of the popliteus tendon in his right leg," Real Madrid said in a statement.
Madrid captain Carvajal hurt his knee in the final minutes of the reigning champions' 2-0 win over Villarreal on Saturday night which saw the team pull level with La Liga leaders Barca, who face Alaves on Sunday. Carvajal, 32, went down in agony after attempting to clear a ball under pressure from Villarreal winger Yeremy Pino.
