After winning the El Clasico, General Carvajal injured his right knee and underwent surgery and will miss 2-3 months.

In the 10th round of La Liga, in the national derby, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 2-1. The most lively and exciting thing was not the game, but the conflict after the game. Carvajal and Yamal first shook hands, then hugged and then quarreled, and then Yamal even "arranged a fight" with Vinicius.

Real Madrid won the El Clasico and led by 5 points, but Carvajal suffered an injury. Real Madrid officials announced that Carvajal has loose bodies in his right knee and will undergo arthroscopic surgery. Spanish media "Radio Cobe" and "Marca" followed up with reports that Real Madrid defense veteran Carvajal will be absent for 2-3 months.

It is reported that Carvajal’s injured knee is the side where the player suffered a serious injury and received surgical treatment against Villarreal on October 9, 2024. This means that it is an old injury that is added to the injury. Carvajal's last surgery was to repair an anterior cruciate ligament rupture and posterolateral instability. As a result, he was injured for 9 months and did not return until the 2025 Club World Cup semi-finals. The 33-year-old Carvajal has become more injured and his body frequently flashes red lights. Carvajal missed a month at the beginning of this season due to a soleus muscle problem. Carvajal hopes to recover and play as soon as possible. Participating in the 2026 US-Canada-Mexico World Cup is his important goal.
