Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal has played down suggestions that he could face an extended period on the sidelines after being stretched off in Sunday's 3-0 win over Levante.

The right-back collapsed in the final few minutes of the clash at the Bernabeu, but has insisted that he will return to training later this week.

"It was an isolated incident. I felt a pull in my left leg. The doctor told me it would be best to leave the pitch," Carvajal told reporters at a press conference.

"I hope it's nothing and I feel good about it. I want anyone who is worried to relax. In two or three days I'll be fine."

Los Blancos currently sit three points clear at the top of La Liga.
