Real Madrid used social media and its official website on Sunday morning, to confirm two injuries to a duo of first team stars.
Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Jr. both pulled up injured in Saturday’s 2-0 win over Villarreal at the Bernabeu, with that development souring what should have otherwise been celebrated as Carlo Ancelotti’s side drawing level on points with bitter rivals FC Barcelona at the La Liga summit.
After the Ballon d’Or candidate was brought off the pitch crying on a stretcher, Ancelotti remarked post-match that right back Carvajal seemed to have suffered a “quite serious” knee injury.
“We are going to wait for the medical evaluation. The doctor said that he has a knee injury but we have to wait to do tests. Hopefully it will be as minor as possible,” said the Italian.
“The dressing room is sad and worried, just like Dani. He is a very, very important player for us, fundamental for his experience, seriousness, professionalism. We are going to wait,” Ancelotti added.
Vinicius Jr. was also brought off prematurely, with Ancelotti saying that the Brazilian was “very hurt” while set to undergo tests on Sunday morning.
