Real Madrid's Dani Carvajal is facing a lengthy absence after the club announced he would undergo further knee surgery. The Spanish defender recently returned from injury and played as a substitute in Madrid's 2-1 win over Barcelona on Sunday.

Carvajal is expected to be out for more than two months, according to reports. He had previously suffered a severe knee injury and underwent surgery, which kept him out for most of last season.

Dani Carvajal's absence will be felt in Real Madrid's upcoming matches, starting with the Champions League trip to Liverpool next week. He's also doubtful for the Manchester City match on December 10 at the Santiago Bernabeu due to a knee issue.

Real Madrid confirmed Carvajal has a loose body in his right knee joint and will undergo arthroscopic surgery. The club didn't specify how long he'll be out, but previous reports suggest he could be sidelined for 2-3 months.

Carvajal's history of knee problems dates back to 2024 when he sustained a severe injury in the same leg, requiring surgery that ruled him out for most of the previous season. This previous setback has raised concerns about his long-term availability.

The latest injury news suggests Carvajal could be sidelined for six to 10 weeks, which would keep him out of action until the end of the year. This potential absence would also rule him out of Spain's upcoming World Cup qualifiers in November
