Carvajal spoke about the situation, saying he had a conversation with the coach and understood the decision. He doesn't have a specific injury, but needs time to get back to his usual level.

Despite Carvajal's exclusion, several of his Real Madrid teammates have made the preliminary squad. These include Dean Huijsen, Fran Garcia, and Gonzalo Garcia.

The remaining matches will determine whether Carvajal will have the opportunity to prove himself and deliver the performances needed to join the team.
