'Onda Cero': Carvajal facing 2-3 weeks out

According to 'Onda Cero', the right-back is still in with a chance of featuring at the tournament after his scna results left room for optimism.

The aforementioned source reports that Carvajal suffered a grade 2 hamstring strain in Kiev and faces between two and three weeks on the sidelines.

With Spain's World Cup opener against Portugal 19 days away, there is theoretically time for the 25-year-old to return to fitness, though realistically he is likely to sit that one out regardless.

Although there is not official confirmation of the severity of the injury as of yet, it appears that the final decision on whether to include Carvajal or not will rest with Spain boss Julen Lopetegui, who must decide whether the Real Mtdrid man is worth the risk, or whether he should play it safe and call up a replacement.
