Luckily enough for Julen Lopetegui, Dani Carvajal appears ready to play and perform. Odriozola should be Carvajal’s backup this season as he’s still very young, but it’s clear that Lopetegui will want to have him at his disposal as soon as possible because he might want to make some rotations early in the season before the conditioning of his players improves later in the season. Odriozola could miss the next few weeks.
