DANI CARVAJAL will be fit for the World Cup, despite suffering an injury in the Champions League final, it is being reported.
Just seven minutes after Mohamed Salah's enforced substitution on the half hour mark, the Real Madrid right-back was replaced by Nacho after injuring his hamstring.
Arsenal fans had been desperate for Hector Bellerin, who is on stand-by, to take his place in the 23-man squad.
However, Onda Cero report he will only face three weeks on the sidelines and remains on the plane to Russia.
Carvajal went to a Madrid hospital with club and international team doctors, where he had a scan and the results were better than first feared.
He was in tears as he left the pitch and was consoled after the match by Marcelo amid his team-mates' celebrations.
This was the second time Carvajal had to leave a Champions League final early through injury, with Danilo replacing him in the 2016 victory over Atletico Madrid.
That time, his injury forced him to miss Euro 2016 and he has yet to represent Spain at a major tournament.

So it was clear why he was so distraught at the possibility of facing another summer of heartache.
Bellerin, aware a call-up could come at any time, posted a video on Instagram yesterday to show he was keeping in shape.
