Dani Carvajal left the pitch in tears after suffering a serious knee injury during Real Madrid’s 2-0 win over Villarreal on Saturday evening.

The incident occurred during the closing stages of the second half injury time when Carvajal attempted to clear the ball from Yeremy Pino, however, the 32-year-old’s right leg got caught underneath his opponent.

Carvajal immediately fell to the ground and was screaming in pain as his Real Madrid teammates rushed in.

The Spain international sat up but was in tears as he covered his face with his hands and shirt.

Carvajal was then forced to leave the pitch on a stretcher after being treated by medical staff.

Speaking after the game, Villarreal captain Raul Albiol said: ‘It looks bad.

‘He left crying. Let’s hope it’s nothing too bad, we all know how important he is for Real Madrid and for the national team.’

Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde said: ‘The result is the least important thing right now, we are very worried about Dani Carvajal.’

Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti said: ‘It seems like a fairly serious knee injury, the dressing room is sad and worried.

‘It’s something that happens a lot in the calendar and it has happened to a very important player for us.

‘He is a key player for us, because of his experience and seriousness.

‘I have been talking to him and he is sad, but there is not much to do. We will see the medical evaluation and think about recovering.

‘The doctor has told us that he needs to undergo tests, but that it is a knee injury.’

Asked if Real Madrid would look to sign a right-back in the January transfer window if Carvajal’s injury is long term, Ancelotti replied: ‘We have Lucas Vazquez, but it’s not the time to talk about this.

‘We’ll wait and if the injury is serious we’ll manage the squad well and see who we put in this position. Not me.’
