Dani Carvajal has set his sights firmly on the Clásico—and at Real Madrid, they are almost certain he’ll make it. According to AS, the club believes it is “practically guaranteed” that the right-back will be fit in time for the October 26 showdown against Barcelona.

The alarm bells rang last Saturday after the derby, when Carvajal felt discomfort that was later diagnosed as a soleus fracture. The initial prognosis sidelined him for four to five weeks, effectively ruling him out of El Clásico. However, once the swelling subsided and doctors carried out further tests, the injury turned out to be less severe than first feared, sparking optimism inside the club.

Carvajal has embraced the recovery as a personal challenge. He is undergoing long physiotherapy sessions, extra gym work, and avoiding distractions—all with one target: Barcelona. He won’t feature against Villarreal, Getafe, or Juventus, but his obsession is to return in time for the biggest game of all. Within the club, insiders describe him as “crazy” about being ready, pushing to shorten recovery without risking his long-term health.
