AS: Alexander-Arnold is expected to play against Juventus, Carvajal may return in El Clasico

In the third round of the UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid faced Juventus at home. Before the game, the Spanish media "AS" reported that Arnold is expected to play against Juventus and Carvajal may return in the El Clasico.

The central defender position remains Xabi Alonso's main problem. Alonso learned on Tuesday that he would not be able to activate Alaba for at least a week. Alaba will miss two important games this week due to "severe overload", the Champions League match against Juventus and La Liga El Clasico.

Another person who failed to come back in time to face Juventus was Huizen. Like Alaba, he stayed in the club's gym. Although Ceballos is also absent from the game, he has already stepped onto the lawn, but is training alone in the auxiliary field next to the main field.

In Real Madrid's upcoming critical week with Juventus and Barcelona, ​​the injury list still exists. Things have improved for Arnold and Carvajal, however. The two have been working hard to speed up their recovery and showed good condition in training on Tuesday, participating in team training to prepare for the Champions League game against Juventus.

However, the situation is different. Trent Alexander-Arnold's recovery is progressing slightly faster than captain Carvajal, so he is expected to get playing time against Juventus tomorrow as he performed normally in training on Monday.

Alonso needs to decide whether to start Arnold based on his condition, or continue to use Valverde. As for Carvajal, his chances of making the squad are slim, but he hopes to be back against Barcelona.
