The Spanish side's third captain has started the season in great form and also played well for the national team against Cyprus, noting two assists in the match. It is currently unclear whether Carvajal will be ready for Sunday's derby against Atletico in La Liga.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti will also be unable to count on Vinicius and Arda Guler, who are recovering from injuries. In addition, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and defender Eder Militao are also injured. On the other hand, midfielder Dani Ceballos and defender Ferlan Mendy are ready to play.
