Dani Carvajal's treatment for a viral pericardium infection has reportedly been successful and the condition has "already disappeared."

According to Marco Ruiz of AS, the Real Madrid defender has been treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatories and aspirin, which have caused his illness to subside, but he has not yet been discharged, nor have club doctors set a return date.

Despite the virus having disappeared, Carvajal will not be able to exercise until he is fully recovered from the pericarditis, added Ruiz.

It was reported last week that the heart condition would keep the 25-year-old sidelined for for at least two months, per Marca's Jose Felix Diaz.
