Jose Mourinho questions Alvaro Carreras' position at Real Madrid
Summary

Jose Mourinho has expressed doubts about Alvaro Carreras, a 23-year-old defender recently acquired by Real Madrid. Despite an initial positive start, Carreras' performances have been inconsistent, especially under new manager Alvaro Arbeloa, who provided negative feedback about the player. Mourinho is seeking to strengthen the left-back position, especially with Ferland Mendy currently injured. Real Madrid is linked with potential signings, including Riccardo Calafiori and Josko Gvardiol, as options to enhance their defense. While Carreras remains part of the squad, it is unclear how Mourinho's plans will impact his future at the club.
