Holder of a Master’s degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents’ dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.
Will we see Dani Carvajal on a football field again? Specialists are wondering after his serious injury. The Real Madrid player suffers from a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, the external collateral ligament and the popliteal tendon in his right leg. And according to a surgeon, the right-back may never regain full possession of his means.
Certainly, Real Madrid won another victory against Villarreal Saturday evening (2-0). But faces were closed on the merengue bench. Seconds before the final whistle, Dani Carvajal’s injury had frozen the stadium Santiago Bernabeu. The cries of pain emanating from the player left very little room for doubt. Examinations revealed a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, the external collateral ligament and the popliteus tendon of the right leg.
Carvajal wants to believe in a comeback
After the verdict, Carvajal released a reassuring message, announcing his imminent return. “A serious cruciate ligament injury has been confirmed, I will have to undergo surgery and be out of action for a few months. I can’t wait to start my recovery and come back like a beast. Thank you all for your messages, I feel very loved » he declared.
One injury too many for Carvajal?
But questioned by Mark, a Spanish surgeon is more pessimistic. “Of all the factors for returning to sport, time since surgery is perhaps the least important. This is a necessary factor, but by no means sufficient. In this case, I would not speak of less than 12 months of recovery. Another question is that of returning to the same sporting level, which, in cold figures, does not exceed 50 or 60%. One negative factor is that footballers tend to have varus legs, as we technically call it. These are essentially bowed legs, like those of Rivaldo, for example, in a very pronounced way. This fact is a negative factor for the healing of these injuries, because it puts a lot of pressure on the ligaments that are reconstructed and can stretch them to the point of causing the operation to fail. said the doctor Pablo Gelber to Mark.
