Real Madrid has announced the extension of Dani Carvajal's contract until June 2026, despite the defender being ruled out for the rest of the season due to a serious knee injury.

The club confirmed the unfortunate diagnosis shortly after Carvajal suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament, external collateral ligament, and popliteus tendon during their victory over Villarreal.

Carvajal, a key player for Madrid's squad since 2013 with 26 titles under his belt, is set to undergo surgery soon. Meanwhile, forward Vinícius Júnior has also been injured, sustaining a cervical injury in the same match.
