Major Setback for Real Madrid as Carvajal Faces Extended Absence

Real Madrid has faced a significant setback following their 2-1 victory in El Clasico, with Dani Carvajal set to be sidelined for an extended period.

El Clasico Highlights

Xabi Alonso’s team triumphed in the inaugural El Clasico of the 2025-26 season, driven by goals from Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham.

Injury Update

Unfortunately, the team’s celebrations have been overshadowed by the news that captain Carvajal, aged 33, is anticipated to be out of action for about three months. The club has announced that the right-back will require surgery after medical examinations revealed a “loose intra-articular body.”

Replacement on the Horizon

In positive news, Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to make a timely return from his recent muscle injury, positioning him as the likely candidate to fill Carvajal’s role in the lineup.
