Real Madrid suffered a major setback before the end of the year, as the club officially confirmed that team captain Dani Carvajal will be sidelined until early 2026 due to injury.
According to the club’s medical statement, tests revealed the presence of an unstable fragment inside Carvajal’s right knee joint, requiring surgery in the coming days to stabilize it.
As a result, Carvajal will miss the remainder of the 2025 season, joining the club’s growing injury list that already includes Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba.
The news comes at a difficult time for Real Madrid, with a packed fixture schedule in both La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.
Spanish journalist Arancha Rodríguez (COPE) reported that Carvajal’s recovery period is expected to last between two and three months, meaning he will likely return gradually at the start of 2026, a significant technical and emotional loss for Los Blancos, who heavily rely on his leadership and experience on the pitch.
