The Spanish star Dani Carvajal is experiencing a complicated period within the walls of Real Madrid, as his technical role has diminished and he is not getting playing time, despite having fully recovered from his injury several weeks ago.

During the match against Valencia on Sunday, Arbeloa surprised everyone by relying on the young right-back David Jiménez in the starting lineup, preferring him over both Carvajal and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

In the 75th minute of the match, Arbeloa decided to make a substitution on the right flank, taking out Jimenez and bringing in Trent Alexander-Arnold. At that moment, the cameras captured a clear expression of discontent on Carvajal's face, who seemed unhappy with his position within the team.

According to "Cadena SER" radio, Carvajal appeared after the match in a conversation with fitness coach Antonio Pintus, showing signs of intense anger and confusion about his future and current role with Real Madrid. Despite Pintus's attempts to lift his spirits and provide psychological support, these efforts did not succeed in calming the player.

Journalist Ido Aguirre confirmed that the relationship between Dani Carvajal and coach Álvaro Arbeloa is completely severed, noting that there has been no direct communication between the two parties recently. This adds complexity to the situation, especially since the player's contract expires at the end of the season.

Carvajal has only played 27 minutes since returning from injury on January 4th. During this period, the team played 10 matches, in which he did not start and only came on as a substitute in two games.
