Spain’s Carvajal injures foot six weeks before World Cup and may have played last game for Madrid

MADRID: (May 2) (AP) Real Madrid and Spain defender Dani Carvajal has injured his foot six weeks before the start of the World Cup, his club said Saturday.

Madrid said Carvajal had a bone fissure in his right foot but did not say how long he is expected to be sidelined.

Once a set starter for Spain, injuries over the last two seasons have caused the right back to miss most national team games, with Pedro Porro and Marcos Llorente taking his spot. So even if fit, it is not a given Luis de la Fuente would call Carvajal up for the tournament in North America.
