Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal suffered a bad injury and had to be taken to a nearby hospital in an ambulance during Saturday’s 2-0 win over Villarreal.
Dani Carvajal left the pitch in tears after suffering a serious knee injury. The incident occurred during the closing stages of the second half when Carvajal attempted to clear the ball from Yeremy Pino. The 32-year-old’s right leg got caught underneath his opponent, which left him in serious pains.
According to reports, Carvajal was stretchered off the pitch and promptly loaded into the ambulance, sparking concerns among fans and teammates.
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti admitted how serious it was and how sad it left the team despite a fine victory.
“Carvajal has suffered a serious knee injury,” Ancelotti said in a post-match press conference.
“We’re sad. Carvajal is a fundamental player for us.”
