“Carvajal will teach us a lesson and come back stronger than ever, he deserves it”

Spanish forward Joselu Mato expressed this Monday that Dani Carvajal, recently seriously injured in his right knee, “will teach a lesson” in his recovery process and “will come back stronger than ever,” because “he deserves it.”

“I was with him yesterday and he is sad about what happened. Surely, he will teach us a lesson. He is my family, I feel as if I had suffered it,” said the Saudi Al-Gharafa forward about Dani Carvajal at a ceremony to hand over the International Sports Award from the Community of Madrid to the Spanish team held in the municipality of Villamanta.

The former Real Madrid player said that the Real Madrid side, who suffered a triple tear of the anterior cruciate ligament, the external collateral ligament and the popliteal tendon in his right leg this Saturday against Villarreal, deserves “the best of recoveries.” “And, surely, because of the way he is and because of how professional he is, he will recover very well and will return stronger than ever, for sure,” he predicted.

The 34-year-old forward already wrote this Sunday on his social networks an emotional message “through tears” addressed to the Real Madrid captain. “I write with the feeling that I would prefer it had happened to me. Now we have a path left that I know you will walk admirably, like everything you do,” he said.
