Ancelotti: Carvajal's injury is serious, and we achieved an important win

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti appeared in a press conference, after beating Villarreal 2-0 in the ninth round of the Spanish League.

The coach said about Carvajal’s injury. :" I spoke with the doctor and he did not mention the truth of the matter because they have to do tests. It is an injury and I hope it will be as less serious as possible."

He added: "It appears to be an injury." Dani Carvajal has a very serious knee injury. The dressing room is sad and worried. It is something that happens many times and it has happened to a very important player for us.”

He continued about replacing Vinicius Junior: “ Vinicius suffers from a (shoulder) injury, and we have to conduct more medical tests.”

He added: “We played with a double axis today: Camavinga and Valverde. They performed well. Logically, Camavinga is not at his best and he asked me to replace him, because he was tired. This is normal, but he is a very important player for us.”

And about including a right-back in the event of his absence. Carvajal for a long time: “We have Vasquez, and he gives us confidence. There is an international break, the Mercato is closed, and we have few options. We will have to evaluate who we will put in this position.”

He continued: “We have to react because of the injuries we suffer from. I hope that all of these injuries will be a great motivation for the rest of the team, as happened last year.”

He added: “Luka Modric’s turn? In these years that I coached him, his role has always been the same, he is a key player in the team, no matter how many minutes he plays.”

He concluded: “We scored.” Two goals from outside the penalty area, and this is one of our strengths, because we have players with great attacking capabilities like Vinicius, Bellingham, Mbappé, Valverde. We defended very well. It is three very important points. It can be a complicated match with a team that is having a good moment. ".
