Madrid captain Carvajal in race against time for Spain’s World Cup squad 07.05.2026

Spain manager Luis de la Fuente has stated that Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal has a chance to be included in the World Cup squad, provided he can demonstrate fitness and form following a foot injury sustained in training last week. De la Fuente emphasized Carvajal's importance to the team's dressing room and confirmed he is aware of the player's situation, noting it's not a serious injury but requires time to recover to his usual level. The manager will assess Carvajal's performance in upcoming matches before making a final decision for the tournament, which runs from June 11 to July 19 across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Carvajal, 34, faces competition for his spot and will understand if he is ultimately excluded.
