      Six-time Champions League winner warned he has just 50 PER CENT chance of recovering from horror injury

      by

      REAL MADRID legend Dani Carvajal has just a 50 PER CENT chance of recovering from his serious knee injury, according to a top doctor.The Spaniard, 32, won his sixth Champions League last season and also triumphed at the Euros.Dani Carvajal may never return to his top levelCredit: AFPHe was left in tears on the floor after rupturing his cruciate ligament, external collateral ligament and popliteal tendonCredit: RexSix-time Champions League winner Carvajal faces at least 12 months on the sidelineCredit: EPABut his season was ended during Real Madrid’s 2-0 win over Villarreal on Saturday after he ruptured his cruciate ligament, external collateral ligament and popliteal tendon.Doctor Pablo Gelber, founder and president of the European Knee Society’s Lateral Knee Injuries Committee, has now given his take on Carvajal’s injury – which left the defender in tears.He confirmed it will take a minimum of 12 months to recover and also shockingly revealed the right-back only has between a 50 and 60 per cent chance of getting back to his optimum level.Speaking to Marca, Dr Gelber said: “Of all the factors for returning to sport, the time since surgery is perhaps the least important. It is a necessary factor, but by no means sufficient. In this case, I would not speak of less than 12 months of recovery.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL”And another issue is the return to the same sporting level, which, speaking in cold numbers, is not more than 50 or 60 per cent.”A negative factor is that footballers tend to have varus legs, as we technically call it. It basically refers to having bowed legs, as Rivaldo, for example, had in a very pronounced way.”This fact is a negative factor for the successful recovery of these injuries, because it puts the ligaments that are being reconstructed under a lot of stress, potentially stretching them to levels that make the surgery fail.CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSNew Champions League format is a snorefestBy Dan KingUEFA sold the idea of expanding the Champions League from 32 to 36 teams, with each playing eight games instead of six in the opening phase, as a way of creating more competitiveness and excitement.The biggest clubs would have two matches against their peers, rather than having to wait until the knockout stage to meet.The smaller clubs would meet teams of a similar level twice and have a chance of tasting victory that was so hard to achieve if you were the bottom seed in a group of four.Ignoring for a moment the fact that the real motivation was the simple equation of more games = more money, the theory itself already looks flawed.None of the matches between European giants has delivered a compelling contest yet.And why would they? At the start of the long season with more matches in it, why would any team with ambitions to win things in the spring, go out all guns blazing in the autumn?Especially when they know they have six games NOT against big sides to make sure they accrue enough points to qualify at least for the play-off round (and even more games).There is even less jeopardy than before.Read the full column on the Champions League format fail and why everyone – including YOU – needs a rethink.”In normal people, we often correct this deviation of the leg to avoid this potential failure, especially in cases that have been going on for some time since the injury.Most read in Football”But in a professional footballer, this correction of the shape of the legs is totally contraindicated, because it would mean the end of a footballer’s career.Cristiano Ronaldo ‘agreed to rejoin Man Utd with Real Madrid star in £200m deal’ “On the other hand, the mental state in such serious injuries is of vital importance, because frustration, fears and negative thoughts can undermine optimal recovery.”Real Madrid made the classy decision to extend Carvajal’s contract until 2026 following the injury that is set to keep him out for the rest of the campaign.He has been with Los Blancos since 2002 when he was 10 years old and competed across all of their youth teams.After a year playing at Bayer Leverkusen, the defender joined Real’s senior team in 2013 and went on to win all major honours, including four LaLiga titles and six Champions Leagues.He also won Euro 2024 with Spain in the summer, defeating England in the final.

      Ralf Rangnick bluntly says ‘I was right’ about state of Man Utd two years after saying club needed ‘open heart surgery’

      by

      RALF RANGNICK sent out a fresh warning to Erik ten Hag after claiming he was “right” about Manchester United all along.The Red Devils have continued to struggle after the German interim boss left the club at the end of the 2021-22 season.Ralf Rangnick said it looks like he was ‘right’ about Man UnitedRangnick said he heard Ten Hag agreed with his ‘open heart surgery’ diagnosisDespite the FA Cup won in May, Man United finished eighth, a record-low, in the Premier League last term.And after splashing out £205m in the summer window, the problems have spread into the new campaign, with two defeats following their marginal opening day win over Fulham.In fact, United have won just five of their last 15 Premier League matches since their 3-1 defeat to Manchester City in March.Now former caretaker Rangnick, who replaced Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in 2021, has arrived to rub salt in the wounds, doubling down on the ‘open heart surgery’ remarks he made before his exit.He told Norwegian news outlet TV2: “I probably made that statement when the season was almost over about two years ago. “It is probably only two or three weeks since Ten Hag was asked the same thing.”Then he said that I was right in my analysis. I don’t know how many players they have signed since, but it looks like I was right.”Rangnick originally made the comments in April 2022 after United slipped to a 4-0 defeat at Anfield in one of his final matches at the helm.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSThe now Austrian boss said back then: “We need positive energy for the new team and the new manager.”It’s not the manager’s quality – it’s changing all the other things that have brought the club into a position we are in right now.I rebuilt Rashford’s wrecked Rolls-Royce”The good thing – one of the few – is it’s crystal clear. You don’t even need glasses to see the problems.”Now it’s only about how you can solve them. Not minor cosmetic things. This is an open heart operation. If everyone realises this has to happen and works together, it doesn’t need to take years.”It can happen within one year. Other clubs have shown it’s possible within three transfer windows.”Many United fans agreed with Rangnick and believed the club were starting to make positive steps this summer, with the overhaul of the ‘elite’ old guard in charge in senior management.United appointed Man City chief Omar Berrada as the club’s new CEO in January and Jason Wilcox as technical director in April.The owners paid a £10m compensation fee for Dan Ashworth from Newcastle, making him the new sporting director at Old Trafford.And just last week, Ashworth, 53, hired Sam Erith as performance director until the end of the season.
