Joshua Kimmich has already been pushed into midfield this season, leaving Pavard to hold down the right-back spot on his own.

Odriozola impressed at Real Sociedad, where he made his career breakthrough, before moving to Madrid. The Spanish giants paid a reported €30m fee for the defender in 2018 but things haven’t gone smoothly for him since then.

This season, the 24-year-old has featured just five times in all competitions.
