Alvaro Carreras Says Teammate Incident Was Already Resolved
alvaro carreras has pushed back hard against the recent rumors around him, saying the comments about his behavior do not match reality. He also said the reported incident with a teammate was a minor matter that had already been settled.
Carreras Ends the Rumor Cycle
“En los últimos días, han surgido ciertas insinuaciones y comentarios sobre mi persona que no se corresponden con la realidad.” Carreras used that line to answer the speculation directly, then added that his bond with the squad remains strong.
He went further in the same statement: “Mi compromiso con este club y con los entrenadores que he tenido ha sido íntegro desde el primer día, y así lo va a seguir siendo.” He also said, “Desde que volví, siempre he trabajado con la máxima profesionalidad, respeto y dedicación.”
Rüdiger Report and Playing Time
The statement lands after several media outlets reported a training-ground confrontation with Antonio Rüdiger between the Betis and Alavés matches, with those reports saying the exchange ended in a slap from the German player to the Spanish player. Carreras answered that point directly too: “Respecto al incidente con un compañero, se trata de un asunto puntual sin relevancia que ya está zanjado. Mi relación con todo el equipo es muy buena. ¡Hala Madrid!”
The off-field noise arrived as his role on the pitch kept shrinking. He arrived at Real Madrid last summer as one of the most wanted new faces among supporters, and Xabi Alonso initially trusted him enough to start 21 league and Champions League matches.
That early run faded. Carreras missed two matches because of a red card, sat out one without playing, and appeared for just one minute in another. Since March, he has played only four matches, and after Alonso left he gradually became more of a bench player.
Real Madrid Left Side Shift
The competition on the left has kept moving around him. Carreras was viewed as a possible solution there because Ferland Mendy had repeated injuries and Fran García was still a question mark, but under Arbeloa he started as the owner of the flank before losing that status over time.
When Mendy recovered, he took the left side until getting injured again against Espanyol. Arbeloa then chose Fran García instead of Carreras, and cameras caught Carreras making what looked like a half-smile after the decision.
For Carreras, the immediate issue is simple: he has answered the rumor, called the teammate episode closed, and now has to force his way back into selection against a left-back picture that has already moved on without him.
