Dani Carvajal, one of Real Madrid's defensive pillars, continues his recovery after the severe injury he suffered more than five months ago. The recent image of the player has impressed fans and the club, highlighting his effort and progress.
The Return to the Field: An Important Step
On October 5, 2024, Carvajal suffered a multiple fracture in his right leg, affecting ligaments and tendons. A severe injury that kept him away from the playing fields for several months.
However, the latest image shared by Real Madrid has shown that the defender is closer to his return. In a club video, Carvajal trains with physiotherapists in Valdebebas, regaining strength and mobility in his injured leg.
The player, clearly excited, has explained what it meant for him to feel the grass under his feet again: "When you step on the grass with your boots, you see the return closer. I never thought I would have that feeling when doing a very light and individual training. One day less," he said, showing a big smile and conveying optimism to his followers.
The Difference in Musculature: An Obvious Contrast
What has most impacted about the image is not just Carvajal's return to the field, but the noticeable difference in the musculature of his legs. In the video, it is clearly seen that the right leg, the injured one, is much thinner than the left. This detail was quickly captured by the club's followers and has become a topic of conversation on social media.
Despite this imbalance, experts assure that it is normal, as immobilization affects muscle tone. What stands out the most is Carvajal's effort and dedication to reduce that difference and regain his best physical level.
Joselu's Support and Carvajal's Mentality
One of the aspects that has been most highlighted throughout Carvajal's recovery process is his mental strength. Joselu Mato, his brother-in-law and former teammate at Real Madrid, highlighted in an interview on El Larguero Carvajal's positive attitude and resilience.
"He's a stubborn guy, a beast and a bull... I knew all this would make him much stronger," Joselu assured.
According to him, the key to overcoming an injury of this caliber is having a "very strong mentality," something Carvajal possesses in abundance. "The most important thing is the mind, and he has it very strong," Joselu said. He is convinced that Carvajal will return stronger than before the injury.
