Real Madrid right-back Dani Carvajal is hopeful of returning to full training next week.

Carvajal was sidelined in Real’s last four matches due to a hamstring problem.

Carvajal told the club’s official website: “I’m working hard to get back and I’m in with the therapist this week, initially without the ball and then with it.

“If everything goes to plan, I’ll be back and training with the rest of the squad by next Tuesday.”

The defender will not be back in time to face Celta Vigo this weekend but could be back for their clash against Osasuna the following week.
