Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal has spent recent weeks on the bench in a visibly bad mood, and his frustration escalated after Sunday's match against Valencia, when he saw David Jimenez start ahead of him and then Trent Alexander-Arnold replace him in his position.
However, it appears that Carvajal and coach Alvaro Arbeloa have eased the tension during training at Valdebebas.
After the match at Mestalla, Carvajal expressed his frustration to fitness coach Antonio Pintus after a five-match consecutive spell on the bench.
The 34-year-old has played just 27 minutes since returning to form, during the team's 10 matches.
He felt he was ready to play, at least for the last 15 minutes of a match, and was surprised when Alexander-Arnold, who had just recovered from a more serious injury, was selected ahead of him.
According to "Marcas", Carvajal and Arbeloa spoke on Tuesday at training in Valdebebas in a relaxed atmosphere.
They shared their opinions without tension and decided to look forward, considering the issue resolved. "Diario AS" adds that both positively evaluated this conversation.
Real Madrid will host Real Sociedad this weekend at the Bernabeu, and everyone will be focused on Arbeloa's formation.
It would be brave to start any of the three alternatives for the right wing, as Jimenez is theoretically the lowest option, while Alexander-Arnold and Carvajal have not started a match in three months.
Fede Valverde could also be deployed as a right-back, although news from the Bernabeu says he will play in midfield./Express newspaper/
