Real Madrid captain Carvajal suffers foot injury with contract nearing end

MADRID: Real Madrid ‌captain Dani Carvajal has suffered a foot injury, the LaLiga club said on Saturday, as the right back approaches the final weeks of a contract that expires in June.
Real did not provide a timeline for the 34-year-old Spain international’s return. However, Spanish media reported that ‌he could be ‌sidelined for up to ‌two ⁠weeks, raising the ⁠possibility that he may still be available for their final home game of the season against Athletic Bilbao at the Bernabeu later this month.
Carvajal, who has made ⁠448 appearances for the club, ‌has featured ‌just 20 times this season amid competition ‌from Trent Alexander-Arnold.
“He has been ‌diagnosed with a fracture of the distal phalanx of the fifth toe on his right foot,” Real said in ‌a statement.
Real visit Espanyol on Sunday before traveling to Barcelona ⁠for ⁠an El Clasico clash on May 10.
