Carvajal, almost ruled out against Villarreal

Dani Carvajal played in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final against Valencia and made 350 official appearances for Real Madrid, a figure that makes him one of the most-capped Spaniards of the 21st century.
Nothing could be further from the truth, as injury worries are once again affecting the Madrid defender. According to 'Relevo', the right-back will almost certainly miss the crucial Copa del Rey clash against Villarreal.
Carvajal will not be available for Carlo Ancelotti either, just like in the league matchday before the Super Cup, precisely against the Yellow Submarine.
The right-back's objective is to make it to the next La Liga game at the weekend against Athletic Club. In the meantime, the option that is gaining momentum is to field Nacho Fernandez on the right flank.
