Real Madrid in trouble because of Carvajal injury

Real Madrid continue to sink deeper into difficulties when right-back Dani Carvajal suffered a torn right foot muscle, having to rest for 4 to 5 weeks.

This is bad news coming right after the heavy 2-5 defeat against Atletico Madrid at Metropolitano on September 27, making coach Xabi Alonso even more headache.

Carvajal suffered an injury in the 40th minute of the derby when Nico González stepped on him, resulting in a sprain. Despite playing on for the rest of the game, he was forced off after less than 20 minutes. Scans the following morning confirmed the Spanish defender had torn the muscle, meaning he will miss games against Villarreal, Getafe, Juventus and the international break.

The biggest worry is that Carvajal will not be fit in time for El Clasico on October 26. Even if he recovers on schedule, his chances of playing are still uncertain. Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold - a potential replacement - is also uncertain to return due to a long-term injury, leaving Real facing the risk of having no right-back against Barcelona.

The only bright news for the Spanish Royal team is that center back Eder Militao only suffered bruises after a strong collision in the derby, is expected to rest for 2-3 days and will be able to participate from the next round.

From the pain of defeat to the storm of injuries, Real Madrid is facing a stormy period. For Xabi Alonso, managing the defense, especially the right wing, will decide the team's fate in October.
