Tensions have arisen at Real Madrid between Arbeloa and Carvajal

This is according to The Athletic.

A conflict may be brewing at Real Madrid between head coach Álvaro Arbeloa and defender Dani Carvajal.

According to The Athletic, the misunderstanding between the coach and the Spain international began after the post-match press conference following the game against Alavés.

At the time, Arbeloa was asked about Carvajal’s lack of playing time.

In response, the manager stated that he has 23 players in his squad and will act in the team’s best interests.

“I have 23 players in my squad. If you’ll allow me, I’ll think about what’s best for my team,” said Arbeloa.

Later, the 34-year-old Carvajal did not take to the pitch in the match against Betis, which took place last Friday.

Apart from him, another Spaniard – midfielder Dani Ceballos – also did not play in that match.

The report notes that both Carvajal and Ceballos could leave Real Madrid as early as this summer.

According to the source, Arbeloa maintains good relations with the stars of the Madrid club, particularly with Vinícius Júnior.

At the same time, there are certain peculiarities in the coach’s relationship with players who hold Spanish passports. It was

previously reported that Real Madrid had taken an interest in the coach, who holds the title of world champion.
