Dani Carvajal made his return to Real Madrid's starting line-up as Los Blancos hosted Valencia on Sunday afternoon, but the right-back only lasted 25 minutes before having to go off with a new injury.
This time, he appeared to suffer an injury to his right thigh, pulling up immediately and coming off to be replaced by Lucas Vazquez.
The Spaniard hadn't played since facing Celta Vigo on January 2, when he picked up a muscle injury in the 85th minute of that game.
It's now likely that Carvajal will miss the Atalanta first leg in the Champions League on February 24, although tests will need to be carried out to know the exact extent of the issue.
This is without a doubt Carvajal's worst season in terms of fitness, as he has missed 100 days already with injury.
Of 31 matches, he has played just 12 games and has just 917 minutes to his name. This means he has played 38.71 percent of the time possible.
It is frustrating for Carvajal, who'll be replaced by Lucas Vazquez for now given that Alvaro Odriozola is currently injured as well.
This is just the latest injury headache for Zinedine Zidane, as Sergio Ramos, Eder Militao, Alvaro Odriozola, Eden Hazard, Rodrygo, Fede Valverde and Marcelo are all also on the medical report at this moment in time.

They should give their injured players time to recover fully then bring them back. Maybe zidane wants him to have some playing time before the Atlanta game so that he can be fully fit but now ...
you are right
