Carvajal Sends Warning Shot Ahead of Real Madrid’s Pre Season Return
Spanish full back Dani Carvajal's fired clear message of intent ahead of the new season as Real Madrid prepare to resume training this Monday following their Club World cup campaign.
In recently published training video by Real Madrid, Carvajal's seen scoring powerful goal during past session then raising defiant gesture, interpreted by fans as challenge to those eyeing his position. The club captioned the clip: "Back to training tomorrow".
According to Spanish reports, head coach Xabi Alonso's expected to start with new signing Trent Alexander Arnold in the opening matches of the 2025 /26 season as Carvajal's still working toward full fitness.
Despite that, Carvajal appears determined to prove his readiness and reclaim his place in the starting XI.
The full squad will return to training on Monday 4 Aug starting with routine medical tests before holding their first official session. This comes after the players were granted rest following their exit from the expanded 2025 FIFA Club World cup.
