Dani Carvajal
33-Year-Old

OUT
Injury Calf
Est. Return 10/26/2025
Picks up calf injury
Carvajal has suffered a calf injury and is out for the time being, according to his club.
ANALYSIS
Carvajal would be forced off Saturday in the 59th minute, with the defender confirmed to have suffered a muscle injury. This is rough for the club, as they will have to do without a veteran starter at right-back. This will likely leave the defender sidelined until after the international break, with Raul Asencio as a probable replacement at right-back until Cravajal or Trent Alexander-Arnold (hamstring) return.

Makes squad against Juventus
Carvajal (knee) will make the squad for Tuesday's clash against Juventus in the FIFA Club World Cup, coach Xabi Alonso said in the press conference. "Both Carvajal and Militao will be called up for tomorrow after long recoveries. It's going to be a plus for them, but also for the team to feel close to them. Both those playing and those around them have a very important role. When they're on the bench experiencing the game and supporting us, that connection is created, and it's important. Their competitive level will still need more minutes, but when they get back into shape, they'll be very important next season."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Keen on MLS move
Carvajal is keen on completing a move to MLS once his Real Madrid contract expires, according to MARCA.
ANALYSIS
Carvajal has said MLS is "one of the candidates" for a destination when he leaves the club. The 33-year-old veteran is under contract until the summer of 2026, but it wouldn't be shocking if he chooses to leave the club next summer since he's likely to operate as the backup of Trent Alexander-Arnold following the latter's move to Los Merengues from Liverpool.
