Real Madrid: Right-back battle intensifies

After the departure of long-serving right-back Dani Carvajal, Real Madrid has an open competition for the position during this preseason. Both Trent Alexander-Arnold and Denzel Dumfries are vying for the starting spot, with neither having fully established themselves yet.

Despite Alexander-Arnold completing a full season with the team, injuries have prevented him from consolidating his position. Dumfries, meanwhile, is looking to make his mark as the two players essentially start from scratch in the race to become the new first-choice right-back. xsportfeed.life
