Seriously injured against Villarreal last October, Dani Carvajal resumed specific training just two months after his surgery. The images of his return have brought a smile back to Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid.
Real Madrid is going through a difficult season, partly due to injuries. On October 11, Carlo Ancelotti lost his vice-captain to injury against Villarreal in a La Liga match. After being hit in the knee by Yeremy Pino, the diagnosis confirmed a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, a rupture of the external collateral ligament, and a rupture of the popliteal tendon. Dani Carvajal was expected to miss the entire season.
Carried off the field under the worried gaze of his teammates, Spanish international Dani Carvajal underwent surgery performed by Dr. Manuel Leyes, a specialist in complex knee injuries. Estimates suggested a return after a year of convalescence. However, at Real Madrid, the speedy return of injured players has always surprised everyone.
Carvajal's Methodical Recovery
After the intervention, Carvajal began intensive rehabilitation supervised by the club's medical staff. This rigorous process included physiotherapy sessions to restore mobility and strength to his knee. At each stage, he shared his progress on social media to show his fans his determination to return to the highest level.
In his latest Instagram post, Carvajal was seen training with Carlo Ancelotti, marking an important step in his recovery. For the supporters, this is good news: the team could benefit from the return of a pillar of its defense for the second half of the season.
Dani Carvajal is determined to regain his pre-injury level. He aims to play a crucial role in Real Madrid's future competitions, particularly in La Liga and the Champions League.
