Dani Carvajal questionable for derby against Atlético de Madrid

Carlo Ancelotti might need to play next Saturday's derby against Atlético de Madrid without Dani Carvajal. The right back, who has been just priceless for Real Madrid since he gained the starting spot over Álvaro Arbeloa, injured his hamstring during Spain's training session.

Carvajal should not only miss Spain's match against Macedonia, he also remains questionable for Saturday's derby. Ancelotti doesn't like to rush his players, so Álvaro Arbeloa will likely be the one starting on the right side of the defensive line. Considering how bad Arbeloa has been since he recovered from his latest injury, these are devastating news for Ancelotti and the rest of the coaching staff.
