New Delhi: Real Madrid will be without Dani Carvajal for the rest of the season, it was established earlier this month. After suffering a major knee injury against Villarreal, the 32-year-old—who just placed fourth in the 2024 Ballon d’Or standings—is anticipated to be sidelined for at least ten months.

Following Carvajal’s injury, Real Madrid has assessed their right-back situation. Going ahead, Lucas Vazquez will be the starting player, although Carlo Ancelotti may also use Eder Militao if needed. Additionally, Jesus Fortea is another person who is accessible. In recent weeks, Fortea has been working with the first team. Marca claims that Ancelotti has now made the decision to promote the 17-year-old from the U19s, with the intention of keeping him with the senior squad for the remainder of the 2024–25 campaign.
Is this a hint that Ancelotti won’t be looking for a new right back?

Earlier this month, there were a numerous rumours suggesting that Madrid will be taking a closer inspection at Liverpool’s right back,Trent Alexander-Arnold. It was clear that after the horrific injury suffered by Dani Carvajal, Real Madrid needed a long time replacement for the veteran fullback. Given that Real Madrid wants to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold, who would only be available next summer, Ancelotti’s choice suggests that the team won’t be signing a right back in January.
