Real Madrid have received a major boost ahead of their highly anticipated El Clasico clash against Barcelona, as the club remains optimistic that both Dani Carvajal and Trent Alexander-Arnold will be available for selection.
According to The Athletic, the Spanish giants are hopeful that the defensive duo will recover in time to feature in the crucial La Liga encounter. Both players had been carrying minor injuries that initially raised doubts about their participation in the blockbuster fixture. However, recent updates from the club’s medical staff have been encouraging, and there is growing confidence that they will be fit to play.
Carvajal, a long-serving Real Madrid full-back and one of the team’s leaders, has been an integral part of Carlo Ancelotti’s setup. His presence brings defensive stability and attacking balance down the right flank, something Madrid will sorely need against Barcelona’s fast-paced wingers.
Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold, who joined Madrid earlier this season, has quickly adapted to life in Spain. Known for his exceptional creativity and crossing ability, the English defender has added an extra dimension to Real Madrid’s attack.
