New Blow For Zinedine Zidane As Key Real Madrid Defender Ruled Out For A Month
The Champions League winners have failed to set a deadline on his recovery but reports in Spain suggest that he could be out of action for between three to four weeks.
The 25-year-old defender has been a key player in Real Madrid's impressive start to the 2016-2017 season, functioning as the first-choice right-back for Zinedine Zidane ahead of Danilo.
The French boss surprised everyone after leaving him out of the squad for the first-leg of their quarter-final with Celta Vigo on Wednesday night (17 January).
Initial reports suggested that Carvajal had only been rested to keep him fresh for Saturday's encounter with Malaga but just before the defeat to Celta it emerged the Spaniard had succumbed to a muscle injury.
"Following the tests carried out today on Dani Carvajal at the Sanitas La Moraleja University Hospital, he has been diagnosed with a grade 2 injury to his right biceps femoris. His recovery will continue to be assessed," Real Madrid confirmed through an official statement.
