THANK YOU REAL MADRID: Less than a day after Dani Carvajal’s ACL injury which will rule him out for a long period, Real Madrid have announced a one-year contract extension for the Spaniard which will see him stay at the club till June 30, 2026.
“Real Madrid CF announces that, as planned, it has agreed with Dani Carvajal to extend our player's contract, which will bind him to the club until June 30, 2026. He has been part of the first team since 2013, and in his twelve seasons defending our shirt, he has become a legend of Real Madrid and world football. Real Madrid would like to show him all its support and affection and wishes him a speedy recovery so that we can enjoy his football on the pitch again as soon as possible,” read the statement by Madrid.
The right-back sustained an injury in the final minute of Real Madrid's 2-0 win over Villarreal. Carvajal left screaming in pain, after seemingly overextending his knee in a collision with Yeremy Pino and was carried off the pitch in tears. The Madrid-based club announced that he has been diagnosed with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament, a ruptured external collateral ligament and a ruptured popliteus tendon in his right leg and will have to undergo surgery in the coming days.
