Real Madrid’s Dani Caravajal To Miss Rest Of 2023 After Picking Up Calf Injury

Real Madrid’s Dani Carvajal is expected to miss the rest of the year after the club announced on Monday that he sustained a calf injury in the weekend win over Granada.

Spain international Carvajal was replaced at halftime during Saturday’s 2-0 victory, which kept Madrid top of La Liga above surprise challengers Girona on goal difference.

The club said tests revealed an injury to his left calf but did not give a timeline for his return. Spanish media suggested Carvajal could be sidelined for a month.

The 31-year-old has been a regular for Carlo Ancelotti’s side, captaining the team on a number of occasions this season.
