The winger had missed the games against Barça and América due to ankle pain

The one from Leganés will have his first minutes of the preseason at dawn from Saturday to Sunday against Juventus

Dani Carvajal has exercised normally this Thursday in Los Angeles and is now ready to make his debut in this preseason in the friendly against Juventus from Saturday to Sunday (04:00).

The winger had not yet been able to make his debut against Barça or America due to some ankle pain result of a collision in training. Taking into account his history of injuries, there was concern within the team, especially considering that Dani Carvajal did not even appear at the facilities where his teammates exercised.

The thing has finally been a scare and Carvajal will have his first minutes in the third and last friendly of Carlo Ancelotti’s men on American soil. The Leganés contest is important for the Italian coach, who has already communicated to Álvaro Odriozola that he does not have his services. Thus, Dani Carvajal will continue to be the only pure right-back in the squad with the versatile Lucas Vázquez covering his back.

Modric, low by fever

The return of Dani Carvajal in training coincided with the absence of Luka Modric. The veteran Croatian midfielder woke up with a fever. At first it was feared that it could be Covid, but the PCR test was negative, so everything indicates that he will have no problem being at Ancelotti’s disposal for the duel against Juventus.
