Carvajal still hasn’t recovered from muscle injury and won’t play in Madrid derby

According to reports in the Spanish media, Real Madrid defender Carvajal, who previously missed the first round of the Champions League group stage due to a muscle injury, will continue to miss the Madrid derby between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid this weekend after an MRI. This will be a tough test for Real Madrid’s defense in the Madrid derby.

Carvajal’s start to the season has been extremely impressive, becoming one of the bulwarks of Real Madrid’s defense. Carvajal’s outstanding performance seems to have come out of the shadow of injury.

Carvajal has been affected by injuries many times over the past few seasons, “All players want to play in the semi-finals or finals, but I have been injured many times before important matches, missing 2 finals and 2 semi-finals.”

The excellent performance at the beginning of the season made Carvajal feel for a time that he had come out of the shadow, “In 2021, I only played 12 games, always comeback, injury, and comeback …… on a path that I could not see hope.”

After getting out of the shadow of injury, Carvajal had taught his experience to other injured players, but after a good start to the season, Carvajal was also unavailable for the Madrid derby with Atletico Madrid after missing the Champions League and Berlin United.

In the 6th round of La Liga, Atletico will host Real Madrid for the first round of the Madrid Derby in La Liga this season. In the first 5 rounds of La Liga, Real Madrid won all their matches, while Atletico Madrid has only played 4 La Liga matches so far, with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.
