These are turbulent times in the Real Madrid dressing room. Following recent reports of general discontent within the squad after Mbappe’s trip with his partner, further rumours have also emerged regarding Alvaro Carreras.

The Spanish full-back, whose playing time with ‘Los Blancos’ has been significantly reduced in recent matches, has been in the spotlight after reports in the Spanish press suggested the manager was unhappy with the defender’s commitment.

Furthermore, reports emerged from Spain claiming that Antonio Rudiger had even gone so far as to slap the former Benfica player in the dressing room back in February, something that has now been confirmed.

Carreras has decided to break his silence by issuing an official statement in which he has denied that his commitment to the club is being questioned, although he confirmed that he had an “incident” with a teammate – Antonio Rudiger – which has since been resolved.

"In recent days, certain insinuations and comments about me have emerged that do not correspond to reality. My commitment to this club and to the coaches I’ve had has been unwavering since day one, and it will continue to be so. Since I returned, I have always worked with the highest level of professionalism, respect, and dedication. I have fought very hard to fulfill my dream of returning home," he wrote.

"Regarding the incident with a teammate, it was an isolated matter without importance that has already been resolved. My relationship with the entire team is very good. Hala Madrid!," he concluded.
