Dani Carvajal traveled to London last week to undergo knee examinations at a world-renowned specialist clinic. The Real Madrid and Spain captain suffered a serious injury on October 5, 2024, tearing the anterior cruciate ligament, the lateral collateral ligament, and the popliteal tendon in his right knee. His recovery suffered a setback last October due to the appearance of a loose body in the kneecap, an issue that caused him significant discomfort and forced him to stop again.

According to the medical report submitted to Real Madrid’s medical staff, the problem has now been resolved. The six-time European champion (2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2022, 2024) traveled to England alongside Antonio Rüdiger, who knows the London clinic well from his Chelsea days and also took the opportunity to undergo routine checks.

The tests cleared up all doubts surrounding the so-called “loose joint” that had raised concern at Valdebebas. The diagnosis is reassuring: nothing serious, and Carvajal is medically fit to play. However, the reality is that he still isn’t on the pitch.

With the World Cup drawing closer, time is becoming a decisive factor. Spain coach Luis de la Fuente needs his potential squad members to be active and competing regularly. For Carvajal, a European champion with the national team, representing Spain remains a source of pride, and next summer’s tournament could mark his farewell at international level. He is determined not to miss it, which makes a return to the starting lineup as soon as possible a priority.
