Carvalho training with Real reserves

Portuguese defender Ricardo Carvalho is training with Real Madrid B and C squad, according to AS.

The 34-year-old centre-back has been dropped from the first team squad after rejecting numerous offers to leave the club this summer and is currently training with Castilla and Real Madrid C.

Few days before the end of the summer transfer window Jose Mourinho informed the player that he was no longer part of his plans and that he would be allowed to leave the club, but Carvalho surprisingly opted to remain at Vicente Calderon.

Queens Park Rangers, Galatasaray and teams from Russia and China all attempted to sign the player before the transfer deadline, but he was not satisfied with any of the offers and decided to stay.

That basically means that he will see no first team action until the transfer reopens in January, when he is finally expected to leave los Blancos and continue his career elsewhere.
