Real Madrid: The 'scientist' who is getting the best version of Courtois and who played with Fernando Torres
Dani Carvajal, Real Madrid defender, damaged his right knee during the Whites' training and suffers an injury to the internal lateral ligament, as reported this Friday by the white club's medical services.
In this way, Carvajal will safely miss the international matches in Spain for which he had been summoned (a friendly against Portugal and the League of Nations duels against Switzerland and Ukraine), and an approximate time out of two months of competition.
In this way, the undisputed right-back for Zinedine Zidane will miss four days of the group stage of the Champions League, the duels against Inter Milan, Shaktar Donetsk and Borussia Monchengladbach, and in LaLiga Santander six games, including the classic of Spanish football against Barcelona.
A key player in the defense of
Zinedine Zidane
, Carvajal has started two of the three official matches that Real Madrid has played so far.
Only against Valladolid was he dosed and Álvaro Odriozola, his natural substitute in the squad, took his place, but he jumped onto the field at 57 minutes as a result of his partner's physical fatigue.
Now,
Odriozola
will have to pick up the baton from Carvajal and has before him an opportunity for another to gain the trust of Zidane, who last season gave the green light to his departure on loan to Bayern Munich.
In the few absences of Carvajal that the Madrid coach had to face in the second half of the season, he improvised with 'patches' such as delaying the position of
Lucas Vázquez
or changing bands to
Ferland Mendy
.
This summer Zidane ruled out staying with the Moroccan
Achraf
Hakimi, who returned to Real Madrid after shining for two years at Borussia Dortmund and was transferred in exchange for 40 million euros to Inter Milan.
