If there is ever a silver lining from Real Madrid’s ongoing injury crisis, it would be that many young La Fabrica talents.
Raul Asencio is the prime case in point, having established himself as a first-team material following Eder Militao’s injury.
Now, Real Madrid have recently called up Dani Yanez for their upcoming clash against Girona. Yanez, a winger, has been included in the squad due to the absence of star man Rodrygo.
Who is Dani Yanez?
A recent report from MARCA has given a comprehensive overview on Yanez, who has been making waves within La Fabrica with his performances. He recently made his squad debut for Real Madrid first-team during the trip to Anfield last week.
A key player for Arbeloa’s Juvenil A team, Yanez has caught the eye of Real Madrid’s coaching staff, particularly Ancelotti’s son, Davide.

His impressive performances in the Youth League, where he is the top scorer with four goals in five games, have solidified his reputation as one of the most promising young talents at the club.
As far as his gameplay is concerned, the 17-year-old is adept at playing on the wing or cutting inside, and his pace and agility make him a constant threat to opposing defenses.
Yanez’s ability to create scoring opportunities and his clinical finishing have made him a vital asset for the youth team.
Interestingly, Yanez is huge admirer of Cristiano Ronaldo. The young winger is inspired by Ronaldo’s unwavering determination and fighting spirit – something that he tries to emulate in his own game.
Yanez, therefore, could indeed be an exciting inclusion for Real Madrid as they brace themselves for a tough contest against Girona.
With Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo missing from action, it will be interesting to see whether or not Carlo Ancelotti decides to hand Yanez a first-team debut tonight.
