After 9 months out, veteran full-back boosts Xabi Alonso’s squad ahead of crucial World Cup clash
Real Madrid have received a major boost ahead of their Club World Cup round of 16 showdown against Juventus: Dani Carvajal is back.
The veteran right-back has fully recovered from a serious right knee injury that kept him sidelined for nine months, and he’s declared himself fit and ready:
“After nine months, I’m ready to play again. I’m available to return.” — Dani Carvajal
This Tuesday (July 1), at 4 PM (Brasília time), Real Madrid face Juventus at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, and Carvajal could already be part of the squad for this crucial clash.
Injury Comeback: Real Madrid Regains Key Defender
Carvajal’s return is timely. Under coach Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid are eyeing another global title, and defensive depth could prove decisive in the knockout stages of the Club World Cup.
His experience, leadership, and tactical discipline make him a natural fit in pressure situations especially against a side like Juventus, known for fast transitions and wing play.
Carvajal vs Alexander-Arnold: Position Battle Begins
While fans celebrate Carvajal’s return, it also marks the beginning of an intriguing internal battle. Trent Alexander-Arnold, signed this year from Liverpool, has impressed as the starting right-back since arriving at the Bernabéu.
Now, Xabi Alonso has a decision to make. Will he opt for Carvajal’s experience or stick with Trent’s offensive dynamism?
This competition could reshape Real Madrid’s lineup throughout the tournament and possibly even into the upcoming La Liga and Champions League campaigns.
Real Madrid vs Juventus: What to Expect
Real Madrid face Juventus this Tuesday in one of the most anticipated matches of the Club World Cup round of 16. With stars like Jude Bellingham, Vinícius Jr., and Rodrygo, Los Blancos are favorites but Juventus, led by a young and revitalized squad, promise a stern test.
The return of Carvajal adds another layer of intrigue to a game that’s already high stakes.
