It's not just Real Madrid that has been devastated by Dani Carvajal's season-ending knee injury. The veteran right-back will soon be unable to play for Spain for most of the next 12 months – becoming the second La Roja superstar in a matter of weeks to suffer an ACL injury, after Rodri Hernandez.
It's a desperate luck for Spain coach Luis de la Fuente, who now cannot rely on the services of Carvajal and Rodri for the foreseeable future. Ace for Reliefreacted to the former's injury on Monday.
“We talked. I feel broken. We are all very affected.”
Joselu Mato, who is a close friend of Carvajal, also spoke about his ex's injury Real Madrid teammate.
“It is sad for what happened. It will teach us a lesson. It is my family and I feel as if it happened to me. I wish him the best recovery. Because of the way he is and how much he's professional, he'll recover very well and come back strong.”
