Daniel Carvajal

Carvajal (foot) rejoined the group in training Tuesday and could be available for Thursday's clash against Real Oviedo, according to coach Alvaro Arbeloa, per Madrid Xtra. "Carvajal also rejoined the group yesterday and I understand he will return to training normally and could be available for tomorrow's match. As I said a few days ago, he deserves to say goodbye to this season by getting some minutes and playing."

Analysis: Carvajal's return to training is a faster turnaround than initially anticipated following his diagnosis with a fracture of the distal phalanx of his fifth toe. The veteran right-back has primarily provided depth cover behind Trent Alexander-Arnold this season, and his potential return for the final three fixtures would give him the opportunity to sign off the campaign with some minutes on the pitch. Manager Alvaro Arbeloa's warm comments about the defender underline the regard in which he is held at the club, with Real Madrid keen to give him a fitting farewell to what has been a difficult season on the injury front.

Trains with team Tuesday

Carvajal (foot) has returned to team training Tuesday, according to Madrid Xtra.

Analysis: Carvajal had been sidelined after being diagnosed with a fracture of the distal phalanx of his fifth toe, making his return to the training pitch a faster turnaround than initially anticipated. The veteran right-back has mainly been providing depth cover behind Trent Alexander-Arnold this season, so his reintegration adds a useful option for Real Madrid in the final stretch of the campaign rather than shaking up the starting lineup. The club will assess how he responds to the coming sessions before making any decisions on his potential involvement in the remaining fixtures.
