JAKARTA - Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal will undergo keyhole surgery in his right knee.

The 33-year-old Spanish defender underwent tests on Monday, October 27, 2025, morning local time, after feeling uncomfortable when he entered as a substitute in the 72nd minute in a 2-1 win over Barcelona at El Clasico on Sunday, October 26, 2025.

"After tests carried out on our captain, Dani Carvajal, by Real Madrid Medical Services, he was diagnosed with loose joints in his right knee."

"Carvajal will undergo artroscopy," the club said in a statement.

Carvajal's appearance at El Clasico was the first since suffering a calf injury in a 2-5 defeat to city rival Atletico Madrid on 27 September 2025.

Real Madrid did not mention in the statement how long Carvajal would be out of action, but ESPN reported that the LaLiga leaders hoped to play him back in early 2026.
