Dani Carvajal is arguably the best right back in the world, as we speak. But with his discouraging injury-record as well as his recent viral pericardium infection that kept him on the sidelines for a couple of weeks, Real Madrid might want to look for a like-for-like replacement.

Danilo was far from being a key player at the club, but his departure to Manchester City certainly makes Carvajal's absence more of a problem now. Alessandro Florenzi is only 26 years old and is already one of the best right backs in Italy.

Florenzi's characteristics are similar to Carvajal, as he is considered to be a very offensive-minded fullback. In many matches against opponents who sit deep, Madrid tend to rely on the Carvajal and Marcelo's forward runs and recurrent crosses, to find the solution. It is therefore essential to replace Carvajal with someone who can support the attack in the same way.

Florenzi is a product of AS Roma's youth academy and made his debut in a 3-1 victory over Sampdoria in 2011. Since then, he has gone a long way and is now considered a regular squad member in Italy's national team. Versatile enough to play in midfielder or even as winger whenever needed, Alessandro could be a useful utility-man in a squad haunted by injuries.
