Cuadra Fernández He added four minutes to a match expected for the verdict at the Santiago Bernabéu and, at the halfway mark, a shudder transformed into tears ran through the white stronghold. He roared it Daniel Carvajalwho remained lying on the ground after the dispute over a split ball with Yérémy Pino.
The side of the real Madrid was trying to clear the ball when the footballer Villarreal was crossed and the fateful outcome occurred. Carvajal suffered hyperextension of the knee while trying to connect with the ball and immediately lay down on the playing field. His face, accompanied by screams, immediately reflected the severity of the injury.
His companions immediately came to inquire about his condition. They surrounded the young white player and, noting the magnitude, asked for the stretcher to enter. Carvajal was treated by medical personnel and attempted to leave on his own, but the injury refused him. He left the pitch Santiago Bernabéu in tears and with a serious injury around the corner.
“It looks like a pretty serious knee injury, the locker room is sad and worried. It’s something that happens several times in the calendar and it happened to a very important player for us. He’s a fundamental player for us , thanks to his experience, seriously… “I spoke to him and he is sad, but there is not much to do. We will see the medical evaluation and think about recovery,” he commented. Ancelotti with undisguised fear.
In Madrid there are fears that Carvajal’s season is over, although everything remains pending the tests, which started on Saturday evening and will continue until Sunday morning. For now, Luis de la Fuente already knows that he will not be able to count on him with Spain during this truce, since he has been summoned.
Lucas Vázquez, first option
The range of alternatives opens with three specifications. The first goes through the first team locker room. Lucas Vazquezits natural replacement. At 33, the last ten have been uninterrupted. So far this season, he has only started two games. Against Las Palmas and against Alavés, the team he scored against.
This would be the natural option and the one that Real Madrid will opt for in the short term, according to Ancelotti himself. “Lucas gives us a lot of confidence. With the break we will have time to talk about it. The market is closed and there are not many options. We have to use the only right-back we currently have, who is Lucas Vázquez.”
Fortea or signature, other alternatives
In the White House too, there is another name, more risky, because his inexperience works against him and it would be a risky bet. East Jesus Fortea. He was already indisputable last year in Juvenile A. In this one, he repeats. Leader of a generation called to attack a Youth League which Madrid have only managed to lift once.
The only title that resists Arbeloa. For this reason, and after a white season, even if the transition to CastileFortea continues under the back of his big supporter. This season, in just seven games (one lost because he was with the U-19s), a goal, two assists and three penalties caused in total Arbeloa. The third scenario is to dig deep into your pocket and hit the market.
This would require a long-term injury. “In case of a long-term injury, you can sign for the same amount as the injured player,” Tebas explained recently. Over the summer, speculation swirled about the possible arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnoldan old wish which ends its contract next June, Juanlufrom Seville or even Yan Couto.
The third option remains in the background, at least until the winter market opens and Real Madrid plans to go shopping. For now, Ancelotti will use Lucas Vázquez to replace Carvajal, even if Fortea is knocking on the door and the transfer market is fast approaching.
