Dani Carvajal is determined to come back strong after a new muscle injury, aware that his future at Real Madrid depends on a renewal that expires in 2026. This stretch of the season will be his stage to prove that he is still a central piece under the leadership of Xabi Alonso.

A Battle with Trent that Redefines Carvajal's Right Wing

The muscle injury that has kept Carvajal sidelined for 29 days has caused him to miss five matches, an uncomfortable break in a demanding season. Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold is also recovering, preventing either from gaining a clear advantage in the fight for the starting position.

As reported by 'DefensaCentral', to reclaim his place, the captain must prevail not only with outstanding performances but also with physical continuity. He cannot afford inconsistencies or setbacks. In that battle, Carvajal's mental strength—already proven after last year's serious injury—will be his best ally.

Both players are accustomed to being undisputed starters, but this internal competition could benefit Real Madrid. The daily demand will force them to maintain a high level of concentration and performance, something that Xabi Alonso particularly values in his players.

Xabi Alonso's Trust and the Need for Results

The new Real Madrid coach has shown appreciation for the full-back's performance, even beyond occasional errors like the expulsion against Marseille. Alonso seems convinced that if Carvajal remains healthy and consistent, he will extend his contract with the club.

The coach values not only the talent but also the leadership, composure, and experience that the full-back brings. In a defense plagued by injuries, his return enhances tactical options and reinforces the team's hierarchy. However, the final decision will depend on his performance in upcoming matches, where he must demonstrate that he is still a reliable asset on the right flank.

The Renewal Strategy and External Pressures

Although his contract runs until 2026, the player's future is not without uncertainties. Carvajal is aware that the margin of confidence shrinks with each injury and that Real Madrid is planning for the future with an increasingly younger squad.

Nevertheless, the club has full confidence in him. His track record, commitment, and ability to overcome adversities carry significant weight within the squad. Xabi Alonso believes that his experience remains crucial for the development of younger players and for maintaining balance during pressure moments.

However, the player's stance must also be considered. At 33 years old, it is not ruled out that he may receive offers from exotic leagues willing to offer a big final contract to end his career. But Carvajal wants to continue competing at the highest level and wearing the white shirt for as long as his body allows.

Heading to the Clásico: the Return that Could Change Everything

Both Carvajal and Trent Alexander-Arnold are in their final stages of recovery with an eye on the Clásico on October 26. Xabi Alonso could count on both if their physical conditions allow it. It will be a demanding test, a match that could define hierarchies within the team.

That duel against Barcelona will mark a turning point. If Carvajal returns, he will do so determined to regain his place, prove that he still has plenty to offer, and demonstrate that he can perform at the level Real Madrid requires on big nights.

Dani Carvajal faces these weeks as a period of fine-tuning: reclaiming his position against Trent, convincing Xabi Alonso, and overcoming the physical challenges that haunt him. This silent battle could seal the contract he desires. If his health holds up and he maintains the competitive level that has characterized him, the captain has all it takes to continue scripting his story at Real Madrid.
