Dani Carvajal, a key player for Real Madrid

Back at Real Madrid after a loan spell in Germany where he showed remarkable performance defending Bayer Leverkusen's jersey, 25-year-old right-back Dani Carvajal has become a key piece for the different coaches who have had him under their command at the Santiago Bernabeu.

A starter in the Madrid team and also a regular in the Spanish national team, the academy graduate renewed his contract until June 30, 2022. A clear sign of the trust that the European champion has in him was accepting the sale of Danilo to Manchester City last summer.

However, the academy graduate is going through a difficult period now. The reason is not other than missing the last match against Espanyol due to a "viral process affecting the pericardium" as stated by the club itself. In this way, it is considered from the player's environment and as reported by Marca, that the player from Leganes will be back on the field in a short period of about two weeks.

Marca points out, in any case, that Real Madrid is advocating for calmness. The Madrid team does not want to make any missteps and the player's recovery is the highest priority. Once the doctors give the go-ahead for his return, it will be time for the international player to return to training.
