La Liga: Injury Setbacks For Real Madrid's Carvajal And Barca's Inigo Martinez
Both Real Madrid: Both Real Madrid and FC Barcelona look set to lose key defenders for at least a month, with right-back Dani Carvajal sidelined for Real Madrid and central defender Inigo Martinez out for Barca.
Carvajal was forced out of Real Madrid's 2-0 win at home to Granada in the La Liga on Saturday at halftime and tests carried out on Monday have confirmed the defender has suffered an injury to his left calf.
That means he will be out of action for around a month, missing La Liga matches against Betis, Villarreal, Alaves and Mallorca, a meaningless Champions League tie away to Union Berlin and the third-round tie of the Copa del Rey at the start of the year, reports Xinhua.
