"Carvajal is a very important figure in our dressing room, de la Fuente said on Wednesday. I actually spoke with him yesterday, so I'm aware of what's going on. He doesn't have a specific injury, nothing serious, but he needs time to get back to his usual level. We'll see in the remaining matches whether he truly gets the opportunity and delivers the performances."
"De la Fuente added that Carvajal, who made just one appearance for Spain in 2025, would understand if he is left out of the squad for the World Cup, which is being held in the United States, Canada and Mexico from June 11 to July 19."
Dani Carvajal suffered a right foot injury during a Real Madrid training session and faces uncertainty regarding his inclusion in Spain's World Cup squad. Spain manager Luis de la Fuente confirmed the injury is not serious but requires recovery time for Carvajal to return to his usual performance level. Carvajal, 34, has made limited appearances for Spain in 2025 and understands he may be excluded from the squad if his fitness does not improve. The right back has also faced reduced playing time at Real Madrid this season due to competition from Trent Alexander-Arnold. Spain will compete in Group H against Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia, and Uruguay, beginning their campaign on June 15.
