Dani Carvajal is now a strong candidate to return to Real Madrid's starting lineup for the match against Real Sociedad, scheduled for next Saturday, as part of the 24th round of the Spanish League, at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

Carvajal expressed his annoyance and anger after being excluded from participating against Valencia in the last round, whether as a starter or even as a substitute. Coach Álvaro Arbeloa preferred to rely on young full-back David Jiménez in the starting lineup, before bringing on Trent Alexander-Arnold as a substitute in the 75th minute.

According to numerous press reports, Carvajal had a positive conversation with Arbeloa during the team's training last Tuesday, during which perspectives were clarified, and any disagreements or misunderstandings between the two parties were resolved.

The same reports confirmed that David Jiménez will not be part of Arbeloa's plans for the upcoming matches, and he will return to the Castilla team, which opens the door for Carvajal to reclaim his place in the starting lineup.

After this dialogue between the two parties, Dani Carvajal's chances of starting against Real Sociedad increase, in a move that may represent a new beginning for the player with the coaching staff in the upcoming phase of the season.
