Real Madrid's injury woes continue to mount as the club confirmed on Saturday that veteran defender Dani Carvajal has suffered yet another setback, casting further doubt on his availability for the crucial final stretch of the La Liga season.

The 34-year-old right-back, whose contract at the Santiago Bernabéu is set to expire this summer, has found game time hard to come by in recent weeks after returning from a previous injury. With Trent Alexander-Arnold currently establishing himself as the preferred option in Álvaro Arbeloa's defensive setup, Carvajal's path back to regular minutes has been anything but smooth.

Now, the Spanish international faces another frustrating spell on the treatment table. According to an official statement released across Real Madrid's website and social media channels: "After the tests carried out on our player Dani Carvajal by the Real Madrid Medical Services, he has been diagnosed with a fracture of the distal phalanx of the fifth toe on his right foot. Pending evolution."

The club's medical team remains cautiously optimistic that Carvajal could recover in time to feature in the season's final round of La Liga fixtures. For a player who has been a cornerstone of Madrid's success over the years, this latest blow is a tough pill to swallow—but with the title race heating up, every player's contribution could prove vital down the stretch.
