Dani Carvajal Returns to Real Madrid Squad for LaLiga Clash Against Real Betis

Real Madrid captain Dani Carvajal has returned to the squad after recovering from a knee injury and has been included in the matchday selection for today's La Liga fixture against Real Betis at the Santiago Bernabéu.

The veteran right-back, who has been sidelined since late 2025 following surgery, marks a significant boost for Xabi Alonso's side as they kick off 2026. 

While Carvajal is unlikely to feature extensively, his availability provides valuable depth ahead of the upcoming Spanish Super Cup.
