Dani Carvajal Undergoes Season-ending Knee Surgery

Dani Carvajal of Real Madrid has successfully undergone surgery for a torn ACL and posteroexternal instability in his right knee, which he injured during a match against Villarreal. The 32-year-old right-back's surgery took place after swelling subsided, and he is expected to begin his recovery process shortly, aiming for a return by the start of the 2025-26 season. Carvajal's absence will be felt significantly, prompting Real Madrid to consider potential replacements, including Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold and Tottenham's Pedro Porro. Similarly, Columbus Blue Jackets captain Boone Jenner has undergone successful shoulder surgery and will begin rehabilitation with hopes of returning before the end of the season. Jenner has been with the Blue Jackets since being drafted in 2011 and has served as captain since 2021, making his loss notable for the team. Additionally, Juventus captain Bremer also underwent successful surgery on his left knee's cruciate ligaments and is expected to return next season.
