Real Madrid’s injury woes show no sign of abating, with the Blancos confirming that Dani Carvajal has been added to an ever-growing list after picking up a thigh problem in a 2-0 win over Valencia.

The 29-year-old full-back lasted less than 28 minutes against Los Che at Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday before being forced from the field.

He was replaced by the returning Lucas Vazquez, in a crumb of comfort for Zinedine Zidane, but one step forward has been followed by another in the opposite direction for a side that has suffered a damaging string of untimely fitness setbacks.

Madrid have posted an update on their official website, which reads: “Following tests carried out on our player, Dani Carvajal, by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a muscle injury in his right thigh affecting the tendon.

“His recovery will continue to be assessed.”

Carvajal provided an upbeat assessment, saying he hopes to return stronger from his latest problem.

Now, it’s time to deal with this latest setback and to start a new countdown to be able to return and have these special feelings,” he said. “I just want to communicate one message: I will come back better and stronger than ever.” (Goal)
