Carlo Ancelotti offered a brief but firm update by Dani Carvajal injury
Carvajal was stretched in added time at the end of Real Madrid's 2-0 La Liga win over Villarreal.
The veteran full back was in agony as doctors attended to him on the pitch at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu with Los Blancos fans preparing for bad news in the coming days.
Ancelotti was unable to offer a significant update, but confirmed after the match his opinion that the injury is “very serious”, and the team is devastated.
The Italian coach also stated that Carvajal will go for immediate tests at a Madrid hospital this evening and will be assessed by the club doctor again tomorrow.
The situation looks bleak for the 32-year-old with his teammate Faith Valverde saying that his cries of pain were heard by all in the vicinity of the full back afflicted.
“Dani Carvajal's cries have been heard, which is something that doesn't happen every day. We have to support him with everything we can,” he said after the match.
More news is expected tomorrow, but several reports say the initial prognosis is poor, with those involved convinced he will be out of action for a long time.
