Didac Aguirre The most shocking image of Carvajal's injury occurred during training.
The image seen during training shows the severity of Carvajal's injury and the marks it has left
During training, images have shown the consequence of the serious injury Dani Carvajal suffered last October. You can see the mark from the quadriceps tendon that was used to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament.
Fortunately, the recovery of the footballer from Leganés has been very good and he's close to returning to the field.

It may be premature for him to do so during the Club World Cup, which takes place from the early hours of Saturday until July 13. However, it's certain that he'll return in top form for the next preseason.
After the arrival of Trent Alexander-Arnold and the departure of Lucas Vázquez, the Englishman and Carvajal will occupy the right-back position in Real Madrid's squad. This is one of the best pairs in that position in world soccer, if not the best. It's true that the Galician will be present at the world tournament and will probably play some minutes to give the Englishman a rest.
This tournament will serve as a farewell to an honest player who gave great service to the white team over the last eleven seasons. But he's been far from his best level in recent months, which has cost him harsh criticism from the press and the fans. This is probably undeserved for the man from Curtis, given the work he's done over the years.
Alexander-Arnold, Asencio, Huijsen, and Fran García will be the starting defense in the Club World Cup
With a depleted defense, Real Madrid arrives in the United States, but the starters seem clear for the group stage. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Raúl Asencio, Dean Huijsen, and Fran García will be responsible for protecting Courtois as best as possible. Alaba seems recovered from his meniscus surgery, but he's far from his best level.
Rüdiger may be available for the round of 16 and Carvajal could get a few minutes to regain his form, but not in important matches.
