Real Madrid has officially announced that captain Dani Carvajal has sustained a new injury. The experienced right-back has a fracture in one of the toes on his right foot and will be sidelined for some time, including the upcoming derby against Barcelona.
"Following medical examinations conducted on our player Dani Carvajal by the Real Madrid medical staff, he has been diagnosed with a fracture of the distal phalanx of the fifth toe on his right foot. His condition will be monitored," stated the official announcement from 'Los Blancos'.
Carvajal is expected to be out of action for approximately two weeks. This means he will definitely miss tomorrow's match against Espanyol, the derby against Barcelona in the next round, and the home game against Oviedo.
The veteran could potentially return for Real Madrid's final La Liga match against Athletic Bilbao at the Santiago Bernabéu on May 24th. It's less likely he'll be fit for the penultimate La Liga fixture against Sevilla, suggesting a final farewell to the fans for the captain.
Carvajal's contract is set to expire at the end of the season and is unlikely to be renewed.
