Carvajal coping without Benzema, Ronaldo

Dani Carvajal is attempting to look at the bigger picture with Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo struggling with injuries ahead of Real Madrid’s La Liga trip to Real Sociedad on Saturday. The Portugal international has missed his team’s last two matches – including the 0-0 Champions League semi-final first-leg draw against Manchester City – with a thigh problem. Benzema had been deemed fit to play after a knee problem for the match at City, but was replaced at half-time and will, like Ronaldo, be held back from the trip to Anoeta in a bid to make the second leg.
