The atmosphere is becoming tense around Dani Carvajal at Real Madrid. According to several sources, including The Touchline, the Spanish full-back is struggling with his current situation, feeling he is no longer valued as he should be since Álvaro Arbeloa took charge of the Madrid bench.

The player is said to be particularly frustrated by his lack of playing time, convinced that he still has what it takes to compete at the highest European level. He interprets this sidelining as a lack of trust from the coaching staff.

Carvajal reportedly has a clear goal in mind: to arrive at the World Cup in the best possible shape. But with no rhythm or consistency, his concerns are mounting, and this discomfort could quickly become a sensitive issue within the Merengue dressing room.
